I also want to appreciate an ally and friend I value deeply as I begin this writing!    I will protect the identity here – and say – “This is To X” -- My Paternal Grandfather I was Named After - George Marx I met Bob at the Washington University- St. Louis Area – Men and Masculinity Conference, amidst the heavy humidity, during the Summer of 1985.    He became what I considered my “best friend”, something I’d never had before.    I was and am still in significant part – a loner – without – “a friend”.
