[WilliamJames] introduction

Hi, I'm Mike Raubertas. My connection to the group is that I'm Clara's dad. My academic background is in the humanities, but without any formal study of philosophy. I have a BA in History from Penn State and a J.D. from Penn. Originally from the Philly area, I've live in or near the small town of Shepherdstown, WV for 22 yrs. where we own a bookstore. My current obsession is our country property and growing most of our food. I was raised a Catholic, but have been a Quaker since my 20's. I've felt for some time now that I should read James's Varieties of Religious Experience so here's the nudge that I needed.
