Early days, mid 1975, somebody brings a ham radio to The Farm, because we have a few guys who know how to do the ham radio. So we're getting on the international circuit. No internet yet. We've got typewriters, we've got CB radios, and we've got ham radios. Whatever technology is available, we've got it, because we like our technology. And so, the ham radio guys are tooling around and they hearÉ We start hearing reports of this big earthquake in Guatemala. 1976, February 4. Massive. Seven-point-plus. Thousands killed, huge. And we're getting first-hand reports because of the ham radio. So we decide -- we should be down there, to see. Where is Guatemala, by the way?

You and the Mayans are of the same religion? Or maybe it was the Aztecs who sacrificed their own children, but I think it was the Mayan. And, this was all new to you? What about the White man killing the buffalo so the Indians would starve or driving the Cherokee out of NC all the way to Oklahoma. Finally, I get the impression you at the Farm pat yourself on the back a little too much. Don't get me wrong. I have great respect for primitive cultures.

Sounds great. Would like to visit someday. Respect for doing what you did and doing. Met you through the Spiritual Midwifery book btw.
