I wish to congratulate and thank your writer Tony Watkins, also your
paper for publication of “Houses are for the birds” in The Human House.
This is one of the most delightful pieces of writing and expressions of
humane philosophy that I have had the pleasure of reading.
If only more people were on the same wavelength as Tony Watkins, what a refreshingly different attitude of deeper understanding and appreciation of life around us there would be. It would make this world a much happier place for all the “Charlies” whom we may have the glory to encounter along life’s way.
