then i went back to harvard for a year as a post doc. upon returning, i believe it was 1987, i joined the faculty of the buddhist studies and i left there, i'm not sure when, and then i've been at the gtu ever since. >>> and that's -- so the bay area's home really, and you live in fremont, is that right? >> yes, i do. >>> and we're going to talk about some of the relationship, particularly within asian cultures and the idea of aging and some particulars there. so not that you're getting older out there as you watch us, but we thought it would be good for those people you know who do get older to talk to the doctor specifically about how to engage aging and what it means in an asian culture. so we'll take a break. when we come back, that's where we'll be going. ron, good to have you with us. >> thank you very much.
