More about Selkirk:"I am a Forensic Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, with Ph.D. in Nursing Science.
I am a certified Pipe Major, Piping Instructor, Drum Major, and am Founder-Pipe Major of the Selkirk Celtsî Pipes, Drums & Dancers since 1996.
At Spokane's Episcopal (Anglican) Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, I serve as 'curator', lector, chalice bearer, first tenor in the vocal choir, ringer in the 4-octave handbell choir, fumbling my way back into playing our 72 rank Aeolian Skinner pipe organ, and perform outreach ministry to many abjectly poor and frail persons in our community.
I'm a Life Member and Commissioner for
Eastern Washington State (from the Cascade Mountain divide to Idaho) for Scottish Clan Ross in the USA.
I'm a Life Member of St. David's Welsh Society
I currently serve on three Boards of Directors.
Someone recently barked that I couldn't have possibly done or been interested in SO MANY things. Look - - I've probably lived 3X as long as you have, mostly before the video game distraction. I'm fascinated by all people and most of their activities. I cannot and will not stop. Try it. You may find it vastly more interesting than your dull, narrow, monochromic, cynical life. Being positive and engaged in life is where it's at. ÿÿGROK??
Doggedly persistent with things considered worthwhile, and with true friends. Not at all a "fair weather" type. I tend to "be there" when others have given up.
I wear many different "hats," and so I can seem to be more complex than I really am. I avoid bigots and bigotry. I enjoy dialogue wih those who have clear AND OPEN minds.".
