Greenwich, CT

I had a very nice visit with an old friend.

Roger Clarke and I worked together at Colgate-Palmolive in 1970. It was – in both cases – our first job as a new MBA from Wharton. Many years later, I introduced him to his wife, Lynn.

He has a fierce intellect, an amazing breath ok interests, and an exceptional ability to recall specific facts and data points to support his views. He met me at 3PM, and we talked for 5-1/2 hours. Not about trivia. About life. He inspired mr to learn more about the Bhagavad Vita. Putting it crassly, I think I have passed through the first two stages of life: 1) education; 2} marriage and the accumulation of material things. I am now in the third stage: the search for religious truth. The fourth stage is Enlightenment. That’s a lofty goal.

Incidentally, he is a staunch Republican and I am a Leftie. We still enjoy each other’s company.

Tonight, we have a stop in Larchmont, NY to visit someone we met on the way up to Maine. Should be another nice day.
