Sobre IBD

At ninety-four, the old Bean is still daubing, scribbling, tune-smithing and ruminating. Happily paddling his own canoe, he is content to let the world go by.- D. van WesterborgABOUT THE AUTHORThe author was born in Toronto but lived in five Canadian provinces as well as abroad. He has travelled extensively and worked as an administrator for a U.N. technical assistance mission to Afghanistan. After earning an MBA from the University of British Columbia and a career in management consulting, he retired to devote himself to his first love: the private pursuit of philosophy, literature, art and music.
