| Glenna Elaine Cole
I was married to Elaine for about 14 years. In general, I considered it to be a good marriage. This is the story of how it ended. A more nearly complete account of the marriage is included in my memoir Thanks for the Mammaries: a Ma'amoir. I'd previously intend for that document to become available after I was safely dead and well beyond the reach of any of the women who're mentioned in it. Then one day I changed my mind, so it's available now at the link below.

| Linda Sue Avants
This memoir tells a story of love, marriage, and a failed church. It begins with my marriage to my second wife, Linda Sue Avants. It reveals the abominable behavior of her so-called Christian so-called friends. It chronicles my search for her, such as it was, after she was driven away from me by those so-called Christians. A more nearly complete account of the marriage is included in my memoir Thanks for the Mammaries: a Ma'amoir.

| Thanks for the Mammaries:
a Ma'amoir
My previous plan was for this document to become available after my death. Eventually, I changed my mind and decided to make it available myself, so here it is.
In connection with this document, I offer my thanks to
Albert Hammond, Hal David, Julio Iglesias, and Willie Nelson, for
the sentiments expressed in To All The Girls I've Loved Before (8 K PDF File), and for the song itself: |

| The General Electric Company
Procedural Noncompliance
While I worked at the Nuclear Energy Division of the General Electric Company, I discovered more procedural deficiencies and violations than you'd think were possible for one company. My efforts to address those deficiencies and violations caused my employment to be
terminated due to lack of work at a time when the company lacked the manpower
to meet the existing workload. They were actually farming out excess work to subcontractors when they terminated my employment due to lack of work. In all fairness, I must acknowledge that they were correct. The only work that I was able to do was work that was in compliance with all of the internal procedures, contractual obligations, NRC reqwuirements, the Code of Federal Regulations, the Atomic Energy Act, and so forth. There wasn't much of that kind of work being done, so, lack of work. Yeah. Right.
A more extensive discussion of the problems that I encountered at GE is included in Outward Bound,
which is available earlier in this directory. |

| The Rise and Fall of Mere
Keep
This is the story of how a woman used a covert pregnancy and the resulting child as bait, and the county government as a
weapon, to deprive me of my home and of my way of making a living and
supporting myself. |
