He graduated from the class struggle school since joining the Syrian Communist Party in 1969, and was raised in the arms of Marxism-Leninism, where he completed his postgraduate studies in the Soviet Union, holding a doctorate in economic sciences from Moscow State University.

George Foreman V Ron Lyle - January 24th - 1976

RIP George Foreman [1949-2025] – Fighter & Humanitarian! (22.3.2025)

On the other hand, George Foreman is such a genuinely good person that I simply cannot begrudge him his own successes – or condemn him for them. Good luck to him – and anyone else who can make money. I cannot do this – but I can recognise a truly spiritual human-being when I encounter such a person – and Mr George Foreman is just such a man. I am reluctant to speak of him in the past-tense – because I still feel his warm character that emerged from his emails around 20-years ago! He once said to me that he hates violence – but certain realities dictated that violence was needed in various stages of his life. I believe his come-back was motivated by the need to raise funds for his Church. He took the punches so that ordinary people could enter his Church, find peace, and live in love with one another. What a great man he was!

Ruby (2008-2024)

RIP “Ruby” – the Malamute Wolf-Dog! (2007-2024)

Despite her size and strength – Ruby was gentle with children and other pets – despite being more than able to defend herself if the need ever arose. We shared many long and meandering walks through the hills and dales of the Devonshire countryside over the years. Once, whilst in a local forest Ruby jumped into the river and disappeared deep into the murky depths. she eventually re-emerged and scrambled unscathed up the bank – all for a Jaffa Cake! Another time she jumped through an (open) upstairs window and walked around on the roof for about an hour – be fore Gee finally managed to entice her up the roof tiles and back in! People travelling on a local double-decker bus were watching the spectacle as the bus drove past!
