I am a retired physicist and hold a B.S. in Ch. E. as well. I have been an environmental activist since the early 1970s. I was a founding member of the Save Barton Creek Association in Austin, TX. In 2006 I was a member of a select committee of the Philmont Staff Association to advise Philmont Scout Ranch about opposing El Paso Natutal Gas's plan to drill and frack in the Valle Vidal in Carson National Forest. I studied the technology of horizontal gas drilling and the environmental effects associated with it. We defeated the plan proposed by El Paso Natural Gas. have been an active opponent of urban gas drilling in Fort Worth, TX since 2006. My present focus is global warming and the ominous effect of increasing atmospheric CO2.
I have been a writer of opinion pieces and other essays since about 1995 and am a published author of history of the old west. My book, Last Train To El Paso--the Mysterious Unsolved Murder of a Cattle Baron was published in 2014. I have had two articles published in Wild West magazine,. The most recent one, titled "How Jim Miller Killed Pat Garrett" was the lead article in the August 2018 issue.
I have studied monetary systems since 1968.
I am an owner of a home with mineral rights in Fort Worth, Texas. I am politically a progressive.

You have a most interesting bio, and I look forward to your articles and comments.
Thank you for your contribution to the recent conversations with Nelson.
At our age, being part of a low-birthrate generation, our generation was often left behind, as I see it.
There were a lot of hungry young-uns coming up fast (as in, 'Who are those guys?') and (Don't look back...')
Personally, we ended up with the short end of the stick due to a perfect storm of bad timing, malfeasance, the bankster crash, a most serious car crash involving my wife (our lawyer said we had a million dollar case, but we ended up loosing $100,000 - the wrong person hit her). People, of course, have bought into the mantra that it's all our fault, bad choices, etc. Well, some of it was.
That's life. Those behind us still have a lot of hard lessons to learn. But, that too, is life.
Woof. (and we mean that sincerely)

Good Evening, Jerry Lobdill. Sorry, I took so long to become your "fan". I just noticed this shortcoming when I was looking at your article about the "New York Fed and $100.00 dollar bills".
Anyway. Got 'er caught up.
