Michael Kerr:  

xpensive SF Bay Area. I work for money only as much as I have to. I am a political activist trying to make this a better world than it is. I don't know what it is to be bored, so much needs to be done! I seem to get more radical with each passing year. Military I let myself get drafted so I could investigate what was happening in Vietnam myself. But they stopped the draft the next month and started withdrawing our troops. So I was sent to South Korea. Technically we were still at war there (and we still are even today), but it was like a constant R&R compared to Vietnam. But I decided to investigate Korea instead. After 100's of letters to Congress & President Ford, the Korean government found out and demanded my removal. While the President was praising me for my kind advice on how to deal with the Korean dictator, the Army abruptly removed me from Korea stating I was a discredit and disgrace to the USA! Wool-la! a radical was born! And I have never stopped being one to this day!! Funny, one of the Korean dissidents I was trying to protect, Kim Dae Jung, later became the President of Korea. We were separated for 1 1/2 years, but I eventually did reunite and marry my Korean language teacher. She passed away in 1985 and our relationship of 11 years would rival the "Love Story".
