My friends call me "Dobe"

I've gone by the name, "Dobe Fugin Doinat" for roughly 30 years, at least! (It's actually a biblical name, appearing in "The 10 Commandments", you know, "Dobe Doinis and Dobe Doinat"!). Sometimes, I get to wear my tie-dyed Tuxedo Coat( with tails) and use my (self-titled) Nom de Pun, "The Frolicking Frolic King".

In fact, Bambi talks about me as well! "If you can't do something nice, Dobe Doinat at all!"...

Historically, We ("Hippies") were.termed "Fringies" (in Seattle in the mid-1960s, before the term "Hippie" was coined or at least in common media usage). Now I seem to be known as a "Boomer Hippie" or "Original Hippie (OH)". (Sometimes, just "Old Fart".)

I'm 75 now, but, with my business partner, "Normal Bean" in Oregon, We opened "The Hippie Museum" in Springfield. (We were only open just short of 2 years before having to close in 2022.)

Before I "retired", I was an Engineer and Techie. Now, I call myself an "Amateur Cosmologist", mixing Universe with Laughter and Chronic. Maybe "Amateur Metaphysician", as well. I'm tight ,just all right, and see the Light, with "The Golden Rule"!

I've been playing the game of GO for over 60 years and I've been to the U.S. Go Congress 3 times, and lived at a GO Dojo in Seattle in the 1980s. (Sadly, I'm still only about 4 kyu level.) Love this game, but rarely get to play a Human, just several games a day against my computer. (It nearly always wins!)

I'm writing a book about Hippies and "The Hippie Museum". it's my Vision that We, Hippies, deserve a permanent, well-funded facility for archiving and preserving Our History, Artifacts and Our Stories. Sadly, these stories are being lost every day across America, since OH's are getting up there in "Experience"! (Like Me!)

Anyhow, happy to Virtually meet You All! (Farm Out! Right Arm! Out of State!)
