Meet Paul

I am a father of a young adult daughter. I taught high school science for 34 years and was also an adjunct professor for two years at a local college. I am now retired keeping myself busy with vegetable gardening, reading, eating out, living the minimalist/vegan lifestyle, walking, working out, and occasionally going out with other retired teachers. I consider myself an environmentalist and worry too much about the present and future. My other interests are in politics, military history, interesting biographies, and the hard and soft sciences. The music of the 60’s-80’s was the best music. “Intellectual”/philisophical conversations are also of interest. 

Why I want to do this: I do not volunteer too often. My personality type does not allow me to actually do things for people unless they are ‘close’ to me. I usually do my obligations to society through financial donations. This is one way that I can participate in hopefully helping someone in a direct manner. I enjoy the long letter writing form which is a lost art form. If just writing a letter can make someone feel better about their situation or their emotional loss, then I am all in. One small way that I can actually help someone.
