I hope this website does not appear pretentious! -- It's just that I've really been some interesting places and done some rather uncommon things in my life. -- Including having a rather early personal website: see my old site www.nas.com/beddill - archived at "The WayBack Engine".

My life has led me to define my Philosophy: For success in life, work, love, and such:

"It doesn't matter so much what you know, although you do have to know it!
and
"It doesn't matter so much who you know, although you do have to know them!
but
What really matters is... who knows you....;
       ....and how well!

(Oh, do you know any of these folks? )
