Notes from 2008

A Mystic Looks at Life (Trafford, 2008), Edgar N. Jackson’s ’39 M.Div. autobiography, has been published (posthumously) and is available from bookstores or from the publisher.

Peng Wah Lee ’39 Div. is doing great and has been retired for over 30 years. He was a college professor (Shanghai, San Diego, Mexico) and a corporate comptroller (Hawaii). He traveled, and lived all over the world. He is living with his son Jonathan, daughter-in-law, Brenda and his 7-year old granddaughter Angeline, in Reno, NV. He has 2 older children (Richard, Amie) and their spouses (Josie, John), 3 grandchildren (Lisa, Lori, Angeline), and 5 great grandchildren (Sean, Simone, Anna Belle, Elena, Gavin) to whom he is extremely proud and feels blessed for their love. He is in the process of writing a book with Brenda about his Wisdom of Living a Long Life. He has written many manuscripts about his philosophies, etc., which he has given to family and friends. He has also translated several great works from the Chinese language to English. He has a strong daily routine, which includes cooking all his own healthy food, taking a short walk, reading the paper (up on current events), playing the flute, reading, writing, and meditating. This good living has enabled his excellent physical, mental and spiritual condition. For example, he is quite proud that he does not take a medication and his amazing brain still allows him to "lecture" about philosophy, history, religion, politics, etc. to anyone who wants to partake. Every year he writes a poem about his life reflections.
