OVERBY'S VITAS,
NOTE: All articles on this page are in the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) format. A REFLECTIVE VITA "A short summary of over eight decades of existence on Planet Earth with a focus on my on-going passion for Japan's "war-renouncing" Article 9 -- humanity's cry for an end to that brutal, dominantly masculine, obscenity called war. This little vita also focuses on some on my long-time engineering interests in "Green Technology By Design" as "resource war" prevention and "global warming" prevention options. I think of this as my "road less traveled by" vita.." CLICK HERE to read Overby's VITA in PDF Format |
