Old Business

I met many thousands of people during my years of wandering and I have an amends to make to all of them.

I truly regret not having stayed in touch with each and every one of you.

First to my beautiful children and grand-children who did not know if I was alive or dead for years at a time.

To my children's mother who did not deserve the neglect she endured following the dissolution of our marriage.

To my sisters and brother.

To the many, many native and nonnative people who welcomed me into their homes and lives and communities over the years and who I left with hugs and tears and the promise to "stay in touch' when the need to travel on took me yet again.

I apologize to audiences and fans who signed up to be included on mailing lists that never materialized.

To the lovers who might wonder what became of me.

To strangers who picked me up, took me down the road, fed me, let me sleep on their couches, listened to my stories and shared theirs with me, who wrote their names and address on slips of paper that were often used to start the small fires that kept me warm in the woods or under bridges when there was no shelter and the nights were cold.



There is no excuse for my thoughtless behaviour and I apologize to each and ever one of you.



I am doing well. My beautiful wife Miki and I are living in Puget Sound. I invite those of you who remember me to write.



This time I promise to stay in touch.
