From San Rafael, California on a windy January in 1952, it's been a wild ride. My folks never settled down until long after I'd moved to a cabin I built on a commune in Oregon, but I couldn't sit still -- the wanderlust was in my blood. I hitchhiked to New York City in 1973.

They also always seem to bring a cheerful attitude to the hardest of tasks. (less)

Richard Sutton Good to hear from you, Dustin!


Richard Sutton I'm going to look into setting up a group for those interested in Irish-themed literature, fiction and writing. Let me know if this seems like something you'd be interested in. I'll try to secure some interviews with writers in the genre, etc.
