EUGENEAREA, 73
I’m retired since 2002, mostly from office work, and live simply in an apartment near the river in Eugene. Working-class, with a BA in sociology. Married once and divorced, no kids, lots of nieces & nephews, family in Eugene.
Aside from information, books & video, I’m not much of a consumer. Occasionally go out to restaurants and movies, usually with someone. I like art galleries, museums, anything that is interesting and not too expensive. Seldom travel any long distance but would be interested in local travel. Don’t own a car. Walk a lot, in good health and decent physical condition for my age. My personality is quiet and thoughtful, but enjoy good conversation. Curious, interested in ideas, serious, mildly humorous, romantic, touchable, personal. Not religious but tolerant of others’ beliefs. Read a lot.
I play guitar and sing with my sister and a few friends on Sunday afternoons when we can all make it. We’re not performers, just do it for fun.
I’ve been an activist for many years, working with various groups on a variety of issues relating to peace, economic justice and the environment. Currently I’m focusing mainly on the homeless issue.
