"I left a Master's program (Entomology at UGA), a Doctoral program (Ecology at DE), and two MBA programs in Texas with class leading A's. I enjoy grazing in research libraries! I gave over 500 keynotes in the first year when I returned to Dallas, Texas from Castilian Spain. A multilingual Colonial Brazilian heiress, schooled in England, arranged my painting studies with European, Don Fco. Alcaraz, a prodigy artist who refused compensation - I was a freshwater scientist and became a watercolor artist.

She called me 'Genius' and 'Tiger'. She is a IQ 160 Yale 4.0 triple MFA and Classically trained 4-octave soprano. Her nonpareil voice danced with angels. Her mom and my doctor parents all approved. I met her Yugoslavian-born American artist/teacher. I washed her feet and wanted to wed her but needed to love myself. So, I ran. That was 27 years ago.

"I messed up".

FAMILY HISTORY

"My family name is probably Norwegian, Burgundian, in origin.

They conquered most of Europe. Today, the Kingdom of the Burgunds has shrunk to Burgundy, France and Switzerland. In 1740, Johannes Jacobus Burgund left Burgundy, France, boarded the Lydia and sailed to Baltimore, Maryland as John Jacob Burgoon. He settled in what became Carroll County, MD, named for the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence. One of his sons enlisted with General George Washington. I don't know if he encamped in the fields on Rebel Hill, where we lived before we moved to a resort town where Washington's Army hospital was located near Yellow Springs Rd, Charlestown Township, Chester County, PA.

"My dad demanded flawless excellence AND expected immediate virtuosity. Things were First Rate, with the GOAT passion of #10 Messi, Federer, MJ, Hamilton, Prefontaine,

'The Horse Whisperer,' Wyoming's Buck Brannaman and

stand-alone pro bicyclist, Eddy Merckx".
