a retired doctor
from Family Medicine in Seattle,
was born in a polluted, sequestered Appalachian town. In Seattle,
he was so struck by the pristine beauty of the Pacific Northwest
that this book was conceived. People who lived here bubbled with ideas and
enthusiasm for life much as his admired Grandfather, inspiring the eccentric
character of Uncle John.
Since communities in Appalachia
were comfortable with the familiar and known, people from other countries were
often seen as unknown and suspicious. From this background, Robert was drawn to
explore the world and its people. He volunteered two years of medical care in Cambodia
and returned with the first medical aid after the fall of Pol
Pot in 1979. Other trips have added to inspiration and insight that a smile and
respect for others are the best weapons we have for international relations,
mightier than the sword.view less
