"...not here, present elsewhere..." is the story of a man who survived severe abuse as a youth, brought his abuser to justice, pursued and received a university education, rose to the top of the organization he joined in 1964, and enjoyed a successful marriage of over half a century.

After his death in March of 2022, his wife began to realize that she could still connect with him and continues to do so to this day through the "secret language of the universe" as described by Laura Lynne Jackson in her book Signs: The Secret Language of the Universe.
