Shahriar Allen Big Brother   This is my very responsible, patient, and balanced older brother. He is a family man and father to the two cuties below. During my own upbringing he was both a hero and a junior father to me to this day. He has been very supportive of my current adventures and since I visited him in Boulder in Feb of 2002 has been non-stop working to improve this webpage. Thanks Shar! sba_1@yahoo.com
	Darya Allen Full Pint   Darya is my Dynamo of a sister that is always there to give me a hand or a kick in the pants when needed (her foot has been getting a workout lately). She is beautiful, generous, a gourmet chef, has all kinds of acronyms after her name, and can wheel and deal with the tough cookies (unless they are selling carpets). I love my Dayo. Check out her great web page describing my family's fascinating history (and selling beautiful silk road jewlery).   www.hediyeh.com    Daryaallen@aol.com
	Trevor Allen The man behind the man   This is my youngest nephew. Recently promoted to older brother, he has begun the slow climb to the top of the food chain where I have heard there is all the crunchy rice a boy could want.
	Farrokh Allen Mom   She rocks the Casbah from Tehran to downtown E-town. Ultimate gratitude is owed to her and my father: they are my deveolpmental guides, teachers, companions, and protectors. My mother is also the most dynamic woman I know (sorry ladies) and is always a wizard whether it is in the conference room, the workshop, the kitchen, the family circle, or by the fireplace. Plus she gives great hugs and thinks her boy is swell. allenfamily@bigfoot.com
	Garland Allen Dad   This man is brave and has conviction. I am trying to live up to this legacy and at the same time tempt him to go for walks with me when possible. I am very proud of my father. Here is a guy that whenever he sees someone he knows will greet them warmly and openheartedely no matter what. His laurels are too numerous to even broad stroke here. I love my Daddy! allenfamily@bigfoot.com
	Shane Wolfsmith The main vein   This man has been a guiding light of stability and spiritual growth. He helped me get my first job after social work under this absolute demon he worked with. He and the little lady went on there own RTW adventure where they met up with me in Nepal. They returned home and moved to NY just in time for Sept 11 after which Shane helped in the aftermath cleanup sucking dust out of keyboards at ground zero. wolf_pack@ureach.com
	Charlie and Jean Goerth My Godparents   Its not everyone that has such great Godparents. I am lucky. She makes tasty baked goods and he a wicked Old Fashioned: they both make brilliant company. Now with the dissolution of my ancestral navel of the world on Park Place, Evanston they have relocated near their offspring outside Philadelphia.   cgoerth@worldnet.att.net
	Michael O'Hara Dugo Adopted Brother, BBOR   Childhood kitty corner neighbor. On bike and barefoot grimey urchins always up to something. When we were young the long-roped tyre hanging from the tree in front of Mike's house was the center of the universe. Currently even though he is half a world away I treat Mike with the same kind of neglect and carelessness one traditionally only uses with one's biological family. Currently Mike is persuing his physical and spiritual development, teaches brilliantly at Orrington School in Evanston. He checks email anually so don't get your hopes up!   mike_dugo@hotmail.com
	Koji Otsuka Young Jedi   Koji began his young adult life with mind discipline and has extended this in the present time to melding the best of Asian mind and body development systems with doctorate human anthropology studies at Rice Univeristy in Houston, Texas. The weekend I went down to visit him in Houston stands as one of the most fun of my whole life to date. The intellectual melieux, beautiful peers, mellow atmosphere all distracted the senses but what lay at the core of that experience are Koji's awsome abilities as master and student. kojio@hotmail.com
	Chip & Maria Super Smooth   Well, these guys know how to enjoy life. They like wine, can walk on the wildside, have dabbled in rollerblading and the deadly LSD bike trail, and both are super agro-spicey. Chip looks at the future of your corn and maria looks at the future of your celery salt. This is harmony. pig1@hotmail.com
	Melissa Heus My Cousin   I am just waiting for this rocket to take off. She is wise beyond her years and despite this she still tolerates her dorky older cousin's company. More wisdom. If you have any connections at prominent law schools like Northwestern, University of Chicago, or Harvard let her know. melissaheus@hotmail.com
	Heather Wolfsmith Blackbelt Personality Fortuneteller   Heather can rock the party. Be it process redesign Karate, palm reading, or running that last mile. This shot of here is NOT her typical facial expression. wolf_pack@ureach.com
	Jessica Newport Former Sweet Pea   Jessica is currently working as 'the most responsible person on the planet' and a full-time Second-Grade school teacher. As you can imagine that is one tiring job set. I was blessed to have had the privilege of walking with her for 5 years of huge personal growth for me. Thank you Jessica for being so kind and patient - you have helped make me a far better man! jessica_newport@hotmail.com
	Justin Smith Stud   Justin is the man and has now relocated to New York to live the high life near his twin brother Shane and family. jtsmith1026@hotmail.com
	Mona Population Quality Control   This is Mona. She has a great smile, is very nice, exudes healthy energy, represents hope and rebirth, represents how unobservant I am for not having given her her Propers up to now, is owed a wedding present by me (not long now), and shares her time with a brilliant hubby Chadwick and beautiful daughter (and a lot of active teens).
	The Fine People of Chicago The Unknown Busker   This guy represents the hard working people of the best city on the planet (or so I've heard - hey, even this Dutch guy Ken said so). Also, his certification (or Busking License) from Dick Daily II represents the best of progressive fascism. Thirdly, his dedication to an obscure instrument represents his soul and love of the art. My hat goes off to you, o great people of Chicago - YOU ARE THE SALT OF THE EARTH!
	Marco Aceves Entrepeneur De Burrito Buggy   This guy produces a cuisine the quality of which is not matched in ANY restaurant I have eaten in in Chicago. He roasts the peppers by hand, grills the char or jerk chicken each day, fries his own tortilla chips. Ah, this man touches the devine in his daily work (he truly understands QUALITY). Every visitor to the windy city must have a Burrito Buggy taco combo. zoed2@prodigy.net
	Mike Feinberg Future Brilliant Lawyer   Mike F is a master of trivia, European history, the Third Reich, and fine literature. He knows enough about many serious intellectual subjects to be able to laugh about them. Please send all your most serious spiritual information to this man. I know this erudite man through Mike D - he was his former gymnastic student as is currently his roomate. MichaelFeinberg@msn.com
