2. SOME SOCIO-BIO-DATA(as of: 2009)

I have been married for 42 years. My wife is a Tasmanian, aged 60. We’ve had 3 children: ages in 2009-42, 39 and 32. I am 65, a Canadian who moved to Australia in 1971 and have written 3 books--all available on the internet free. I retired from full-time teaching in 1999, from part-time teaching in 2003 and from volunteer/casual teaching/work in 2005 after 35 years in classrooms. In addition, I have been a member of the Baha’i Faith for 50 years. Bio-data: 6ft, 225 lbs, eyes-brown, hair-grey, Caucasian. See my website for more details at: http://www.users.on.net/~ronprice/ or go the google search engine and type: RonPrice, Pioneering RonPrice, RonPrice Poetry, RonPrice Bahá’í, RonPrice History (or philosophy, religion, media studies, politics, among many other subjects) for additional writings.

Ron Price has been associated with the Baha’i Faith for fifty-three years. He has served on local spiritual assemblies in eight different localities and in eleven other localities and groups where Baha’is reside. He has published three books on the Internet. He has been an international pioneer from Canada to Australia since 1971 and served on more committees than he cares to remember. Some 6000 of his poems are in the Baha’i World Centre Library as is an autobiographical work of 2500 pages entitled Pioneering Over Four Epochs. His poetry is also in more than a dozen journals and many local and regional Baha’i communities also have his poetry in their libraries.

Pioneering over Four Epochs
Pioneering Over 4 Epochs is a tapestry of 42 links endows a host of themes, a wide range of social science and humanities subjects with many layers of meaning and evokes a complex range of responses. The author has evolved a style which is highly individual yet, by fusing together so much from the humanities and the social and physical sciences, from his own life and his religion, appeals to both the novitiate, the veteran, people on a multitude of spiritual and secular paths. There are some 1500-2000 pages of autobiographical narrative, poetry, essays and interviews which can be seen as one long diary, journal and commentary on life. _________
