COMMENTARY: Greeting! I hope this listing find you all in good health
and the best of spirits. Did my photo get your attention? Of course that was
my initial intention, but what really motivates me is seeking the perfect soulmate
with whom to share 2011 with. I'm hoping to fine realness in the real world. In here, I'm surrounded by so many
barriers of social and institutional oppression: no love or trust. It goes without saying that life in the belly of the
beast can sometimes be lonely and seem endless. If you are affectionate, sincere and communicative with a
warms sense of humor and willing to open your heart to the same, well that is also me. So let's do this. I'm a firm
believer that what lies behind us, what lies before us are only tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

COMMENTARY: I'm 53 years old and have been locked up most of my
life since 1972. I've only been free about two years and that was not all
at once. I'm now nearing the end of my time in prison and think it is time I found new
friends who can show me a different way of living. I've spent so much time locked up that I really have no "home"
any more, nor do I know where I'll live when released. Although I am gay and have always know that, I'm
somewhat socially backwards. All of my present charges were done at the behest of my "husband" who I met in
prison and with whom I no longer associate. Although I have had a butch husband, I've always been emotionally
attached to my fem queens and transgender friends to the point it is so much so that I'm sometimes referred to as
a lesbian. That being said, all are welcome to write.

HIV negative
ZODIAC SIGN: Pisces
MUSIC INTEREST: Country
OTHER INTEREST: Reading, crossword puzzles, Suduko puzzles, NASCAR,
football, business-stock market, PBS on TV
COMMENTARY: I'm a rather short and thin white guy with hair that's
starting to thin and go gray. I eschew the prison culture of getting covered with tattoos, gambling and gangs. I
spend time daily walking the track for exercise and to take in the scenery that includes a farm, cattle and wildlife
while getting some solitude. I visit the library weekly to keep up on current events by reading the newspapers and
grab some books to read. I enjoy reading fiction, mysteries and catching up on the classics like Dickens and
Twain. My non-fiction interests are current events, politics, economic issues, philosophy and some old tales on
problems we still face. I hold both a BA and a MBA degree. The BA is in finance and land use planning. I also
spend my time here as a vocational school aide tutor for GED classes. I enjoy that work. I would truly love to
hear from gay men with whom I can share some serious discussions and learn from our dialogue. When I was
young my most intimate friends were mostly much older, so I have a special spot in my heart for older men. My
best friend was 84 and a great guy. I have varied interests and would like to meet someone with whom I can
share mutual interests. But, concurrently, I long for the opportunity to grow and expand my horizons by sharing
your interests. Perhaps most important though, I'd love to experience vicariously your life. You may believe your
daily life to be a grind, mundane or boring. But to me it would be exciting and a window to the outside world and
would help keep me grounded. Please take a chance and write. I'd love to hear from you today.

COMMENTARY: Looking to be a pen pal with other gay males, but will
happily respond to anyone who can overlook my criminal charges. I see
myself as more of a social-political prisoner who is willing to champion
freedom and anti-oppression. I love to write and to share. My hopes are to find that you will share with me a little of
what makes you you. I never look to offend, but if you can handle honesty you'll get plenty along with hopefully a
little humor in the mix of my letters. Write me and we'll see what pops up. I am especially interested in writing guys
that live in other countries. I am trying to get a current photograph because the one above is about 16 years old. I
think I still look pretty much the same as in the photograph. Before we part, I wish to say THANKS for at least
thinking about writing those of us that are locked up. Until later, Rob.
