Hi, Jill and Luigi, so good to hear from you. Yes, I remember our time together in Nepal. Hope you enjoy the book, and share some of your reflections with me and others. By the way, I heard from Elsa Batica, that her five copies are not for the Hubert Humphrey fellows, but for family members and friends. It is wonderful that this list serve allows us to stay in touch after many decades together and apart.

Dear colleagues,

I would like to share with you some of my reflections on, among other things, old age, sickness, and death, and would look forward to learn of your own thoughts. My just-published autobiography includes reflections on the death of my wife Mary after our 35 years together, and the deaths of my parents, and parents-in-law. Each one has its own meaning and lessons. Click below:

The book is also full of stories of global service to the "least, the lost, and the last" and to Those Who Care, when I was with the EI/ICA, UNDP, and NYU, and shares some of my reflections on commitment, joy, and sorrow, as I try to be of service to people and planet. It also contains my vision of what is needed at this critical moment in history and how we can participate in bending history.

I look forward to hear from you.

In mystery, love, and gratitude,

Rob
