I have already introduced myself at MacInsiders but, after 45 years as one of McMaster's alumni---and perhaps many more years if life grants me time in the old age department(i.e. the years after 80)--I will keep a thread here. I'll keep this thread not only for those whom I remember and who remember me from my years at McMaster, 1963-1966, but for anyone else who comes to this site and wants to engage in dialogue in the years ahead.-Ron Price, age 66, now living in Tasmania, Australia, retired with three grown-up children now aged43, 40 and 33.

Thanks for posting this up, Ron. Your achievements are definitely something to look up to

Thanks, temptingf8. It is interesting how, on the internet one finds many people with the same name as oneself.

By April 2010 I had located over 2000 other Ron Prices on the internet. The list of these other Ron Prices is found from special sites like: MyLife and How Many of Me.com. After 9 years of extensive posting on the internet(2001-2010) and after coming across a great many other Ron Prices, I decided to gather as many of them together as I could find.

I have itemized over 2000 other RonPrices. If I go to the USA internet site: How Many of Me.com, I will find over 1000--Ron Price’s and Ronald Price’s. If I do the same in the UK, I get over 300. If I go to: ZoomInfo Business People, I get some 250 Ron Prices’s. After completing this exercise in this 9th year of coming across other Ron Price’s I ceased making a list of RonPrice’s. It was a useful exercise, though, since people were confusing me with other people who had the same name.
