music, thoughts, books, dreams, more

Just my world of dreams, music and thoughts. Author of two books, one a novel of Love stories set in Framingham, Mass, Secrets of the Heart the 2nd book an autobiography of growing up in Framingham, Mass. Small Town America, Framingham My generation was the first teenage generation, that was when the word was coined. Ours was the generation that started cruising through town and to the drive in theater and drive in restaurant. In our area, Ernie Kampersal,from Holliston, drove his bucking car through town, picking up girls. It rose in the air, like a stallion! We went to the soda shops and played the juke boxes. It was a different town, a different time, and it belonged to us!

A man of Good Will, and common sense, Paul Von Ward

Paul Von Ward


The current U.S. situation weighs heavily on my mind. With our nation's economic difficulties (including the Herculean challenge of avoiding a national bankruptcy), political deadlocks at many levels, and questions about the integrity of major institutions, I believe everyone, regardless of profession or job, should apply some intelle...ct and social skills to the solutions.



Many of you know me for my interdisciplinary, historical/scientific/spiritual books and articles over the past 15 years. But only some know about my first book (Dismantling the Pyramid: Government by the People — now out of print) and have asked if it's still relevant. Its roots lie in my Vietnam-era U.S. Navy service and years in the U.S. Foreign Service and in Washington (A PDF version is available from the book orders page at the link below)



I have just written an abbreviated story of how that book came about and why many of its conclusions are still relevant today. I include the personal part of the story not because I'm proud of it (in fact, I failed to use for the common good many of the opportunities I had), but because I believe all of us gain insights along the way that can be useful later on. Go to my website blog link below for the rest of the story.....See More
