credited in many publications. He taught not just philosophy but  world

French.

He leads a group of amateur  talented people for the appreciation of this and 
that -- his forte is popular  music and is currently studying Italian opera 
in the 'international  consciousness' (not so much the Italian one, which he 
doesn't care  much).

STANG, Ursula. Born in Germany, now lives in Canada. She writes on  a variety 
of topics.

working of the list. He speaks Finnish. He has broad and  varied interests: 
literature, ideas, dogs.

extensively and it shows. Recently he  took a cruise around the world.

WARD, Simon. He was born in Sundon Park  (the clinic there), in Luton, 
Bedsfordshire -- (Home Counties), but was bred in  Sussex. He now lives in 
Dartmoor, 
but not in the prison because as he says,  "they don't have broadband there". 
He collects Roman coins, keeps a beautiful  rock garden, and nows everything

And there are zillion others!
