2. SOME SOCIO-BIO-DATA TO 2011

I have been married twice for a total of 44 years. My second wife is a Tasmanian, aged 65. We've had one child: age 34 in 2011. I have two step-children: ages: 45 and 41 in 2011 and two step-grandchildren, age 18 and 15 in 2011. I am 66, am a Canadian who moved to Australia in 1971 and have written several books--all available on the internet. I retired from full-time teaching in 1999, part-time teaching in 2003 and volunteer teaching/work in 2005 after 35 years in classrooms. In addition, I have been a member of the Baha'i Faith for 52 years. Bio-data: 6ft, 230 lbs, eyes-brown/hair-grey, Caucasian.

Hello Ron, welcome.

Hello! Love that you managed to fit ice cream salesman into that impressive bio

Aren't you a little over-qualified to be here? I mean married twice for a total of 44 years is very impressive, my hat will be off to you when I get one, my hair will have to do.

Hello, .

Didn't Sir Les Patterson say that Tasmania was slang for the vagina? Triangle shaped, apparently...

The term is "map of Tassie". 'Mapatasi' appears somewhere in at least one version of Roger's Profanisaurus (which is too vulgar to be consistently amusing).

I don't think slang's as concrete as that. Hi Ron, by the way.

Since I am unable to edit my introduction, I'll update that post after more than 3 years of its presence at this BCG website.-Ron Price

You say you are in the Baha'i Faith, but don't say what you were doing before conception?

Hi Ron

What excellent news.

A time to renew an old friendship.

It was a simple world back then etc.

I hope you are keeping well.
