A HOPEFUL WORLD ODYSSEY -
THE ADVENTURES OF A SCOOTER-RIDING OPTIMIST

An Interview With Thomas Martin Smith
By Editor Gary Sorkin

CECILIA LAWSON of Lincoln, Nebraska:
"The article on you was really neat. You sound like such an interesting and thoughtful man with a great sense of humor and humility. After reading it, I felt like I had read a great write up about a friend..made me proud of you. Hope that doesn't sound corny but it's the truth."

BOOMERS INTERNATIONAL
The organization is aimed at Baby Boomers, but I have found that there is something at Boomers International for everyone including resources that are informative, entertaining, cultural and spiritua-- check out their website.   Also, check out BOOMERS INTERNATIONAL's  YAHOO club - a lively, fun place!  Based in Silicon Valley, California.


HONDA UK ran a story on the Odyssey book in the October 2000 issue of their HONDA GENERATION Newsletter.

LOOKOUT, a weekly newspaper serving Canada's Maritime Forces Pacific and the West Coast fleet, ran a story on the Odyssey book in their 18 June 2001 issue, and on their website.
