Born in 1945. Memory mostly lost of first six years. At eight or nine I started to wonder why. Parents joined LDS church when I was 9. I was given the choice; decided to trust my mom. Lived as an idealist Mormon until about half way through a mission in NYC and NJ (Eastern States). Became an agnostic for about seven years, during which my wife and I successfully alienated most other idealists belonging to the LDS Church. Became an empiricist, but did not realize it. Traveled for about three years interspersed with periodic bouts of employment. Had an epiphany experience at twenty eight and have been trying to recover ever since.

PEORIA, Ariz. Robert L. Fletcher, founder and owner of Cobre Tire Co., died Dec. 6 at age 100.
A native of Phoenix, decorated World War II veteran and serial entrepreneur, Mr. Fletcher in 1970 founded Cobre Tire, a commercial tire dealership and retreading concern focused on the mining and construction industries.
Mr. Fletcher sold the business s commercial assets, which had grown to 33 outlets and several retreading plants, in 1997 to Bridgestone Firestone Inc.
