My earlier attempt was simply humor (never discuss
religion); but I have always enjoyed your
presence on this list. While I'm probably the person
with the least education and most limited C.V. on
this list; my faded memories do recollect this
man's name:Daniel the greek, wilderness ascetic of
Mount Athos..although I believe he was actually
Serbian (My wife's grandfather was Serbian), which
meant because of the orthodoxy she was allowed to
celebrate Christmas twice per year.
