I have been at this site for 8 months, and I can't find any indication of my having introduced myself. I probably give "too much information" below from the point of view of some readers; it will help to provide balance for the many who provide "too little information" about themselves.-Ron Price, Australia

Thanks, Matt. It is indeed a small world, and it's been getting smaller and smaller as I have gone from the 1940s in my life-narrative to this 2nd decade of the 21st century.-Ron, George Town, Tasmania
