Michelle's Things

Hi everybody, how are you all today.
I have just finished reading the biography of my passed on friend Saul Dost, he is one very smart cookie and a magnificent wordsmith. He absolutely blitzed education yet sought work in the mines, I worked alongside him for 3 and a bit years at Plutonic gold mine and couldn't get enough of his huge knowledge and enormous skill and love of math.
No, don't get me wrong, he was not a lover or intimate partner, we were good friends and I respected him greatly and still do, even beyond death.
I guess I am intrigued by people good at math, as once when I was young I was good at it and loved it too, unfortunately when I hit high school, bullying and loner status sent me into depression and I refused to learn, as I hated being at school and didn't feel they deserved my hard work.
The teachers or principal did not do anything about school bullying or physical abuse and this darkened me more. I remember once even being removed from technical drawing, due to a supposed reduced intake and I was over the limit and had to do home economics (cooking).
I guess I still hold this as a huge anger the size of a atom and wish dearly to regain my scholarly ability and regain what was rightfully mine - a decent education free of being bashed, #####, and other stuff.
I don't like revealing stuff like this, but I don't like people judging me as inept when they don't know the full story.
Reading about Dosty has given me a stone of strength and I hope now I can use it wisely and effectively to gain what I want out of life.

    Hi Michelle, You're right Saul was an exeptional person and golden in many areas. We are proud of him too and cherish the auto he wrote. Thank you for your candid thoughts. It's comforting to hear others stories. We miss him immensely. With kind regards, Fiona

    Hi All,
    Once again I am remembering my good mate Dosty. I served with him in the Navy (RAN GE21 from 07/01/86)and lost touch when I got out (1995).
    It's been two years since I finally found him again, longer since he passed on, so there's been no real closure.
    I know nothing of what happened, how he died (cancer I believe, but nothing more). I don't even know when.
    If anyone that knows the story could contact me, I'd really appreciate it, I'm in Qld but more than happy to call across the country or the world for a quick chat.
    Most of all I would love to see his bio because I hadn't seen him since the mid-90's. There's so mutch catching up that just can't happen now....
    Please contact me.
