I admire him as a man who displayed steadfastness and wisdom guiding our country in its most trying time. <p/><b>Have you ever met a famous person?</b><br>I spent five years studying in Rome and met many Church dignitaries, bishops, cardinals, and even the Pope. But none impressed me more than Mother Teresa. Her love, gentleness, and determination radiated from her tiny sub-five foot frame. <p/><b>What's the farthest you've ever traveled?</b><br>I spent a summer in India working in the slums of Calcutta. That was my longest journey geographically, emotionally, and spiritually. Surprisingly, what impressed me most was not the desperate poverty, but the deep contentment and spirituality of many of the people I met. <p/><b>Where were you when you found out that <i>Transcending Post-Infidelity Stress Disorder</i> would be published?</b><br>I was on a golf course in Florida when I received the call that my manuscript was accepted. After that, my golf game went south, and my buddies won some money. <p/><b>If you were alone on a desert island, what book would you take?</b><br>If I were alone on a desert island, I would choose the Bible as my constant companion because of the inexhaustible wisdom it contains. A second book would be <i>The Complete Works of William Shakespeare</i> because of their poetic elegance and astute psychological perceptiveness.<br><i><br></i>
