ructor primarily for the certification, and traveled internationally- video taping underwater music videos. (Although originally sold they are currently unavailable.) Visited Europe several times photographing still images, particularly landscapes and flowers. Needed an extension for my passport.
2001- Present: Studied Objectivism and began writing. Wrote a theory of light, and an idea to organize the Internet for an electronic meeting using Parliamentary procedure. (These writings are currently unavailable online, although they were originally published.)
Currently compiling evidence to reconcile natural science with writings contained in The Holy Bible.
Currently compiling evidence related to light, audio phenomena, extra sensory perception, telepathy, and the paranormal.
Goals: To provide local historical photography to a central repository in DVD format.
To acquire demographic information related to deaths: suicide, accidents, insanity, and addiction.
Personal: Unmarried, no children, uncle to six nieces and nephews, a son to my mother, and a brother and brother-in-law, to my family.
My contribution to Classmates generally is to be read-only, primarily due to current time restriction and the nature of my work.
It is my belief that memories do have value, should be recorded, and that charitable contribution is honorable.
In the ebullient spirit of the late, Mrs. Morelle Earp, please accept my sincere appreciation and acknowledgement for your historical insights.
It is my belief that there is a God of love and light, and that we are loved unconditionally and eternally.
It is also my belief that what God expects from us is our faith and our gratitude.
Thank you for the time that you consumed to read this.
Respectfully,
Thomas J. Canu
