One of our tenants at West Hill Center is going to Oman on Thursday to install software for monitoring oil wells. Although, there is growth in this area West Hill is still 'out in the country" overlooking a 1700 acre ranch with goats and horses. I love having a company who does business internationally here. I find it remarkable and exciting that we are all more connected. Who would have dreamed of a world so networked together and full of possibilities when I grew up here 50 years ago.
As a "Baby Boomer" who longed to join the Peace Corps in the 60's, but never did I have not lost that fascination with other cultures and finding ways to help the human family live better.
When I hear the news talking about Iran as a terrible force I think of my gentle friend from college days Mojataba Yazdi. His family was in the rug business near Tehran and he was to return there after getting his degree in petroleum engineering. I have not heard from him for many years, but have photos from my wedding. There have been many examples in my life showing me that people everywhere have big hearts and seek to live good lives.
As John Lennon said, "Imagine all the people living life in Peace..."
