A Great Story
One evening an old Scottish warrior told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves." One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?" The old warrior simply replied, "The one you feed."

Current Status
I
now live in the Philippines where I have always felt a connection
..... the weather perhaps ....the people? I lived in Big La Laguna,
Puerto Galera with my wife Vangie and our dog until January 2008
when we moved to Santa Rosa, Laguna which is nearer to where the
business is, particularly our concession in the Enchanted Kingdom
theme park called Triassic Tag. The business I came here to start,
Team Building, is going pretty well, slowly but well, please take a
look at my new venture, incidentally called Eversley Ventures Inc.,
at:
http://www.eversleyventures.com
I
met Vangie (full previous name; Evangeline Noche Bautista) in Big La
Laguna three days after I arrived in Puerto Galera to live, a
totally unexpected event. Vangie had been a widow for 3 years when I
met her and she has 3 children, Rabien 18, Mardie 14 and Krisna, her
daughter, 12. She was the manager of a small resort in Big La Laguna
called Cataquis Lodge where we lived for the first 15 months of my
sojourn in the Philippines.
It was a great place to live and I hope that we can go back there some day to live, or close by in San Teodoro, Vangie's home town. However, we decided to move to Santa Rosa where the business could be developed, as Mindoro is just too far out of the way and impractical for our business. Mardie lives with us and goes to high school in Santa Rosa. Rabien has moved away and Krisna is still in San Teodoro, Mindoro until next year, when she will move here to go to high school locally. So I am back in the position of raising kids, but they are good kids and it keeps life interesting.
The White
Hart Marauders RFC
In 1983 Ian was chairman of the WHRFC, based in the White Hart in Eversley, and having visited the Amsterdam 7's tournament the previous year with the Frankfurt Americans rugby club, suggested to the WHRFC that this was a great tournament and that we should put a team together and attend.
This was agreed by the committee and Ian and Billy White set out to organise the trip. The first thing that was agreed was that we would call ourselves the White Hart Marauders. The name came from Ayr RFC in Scotland as both Ian and Billy had played there in previous years and Ayr had a touring side called McEwans Marauders.
The White Hart Marauders name was adopted by the committee and so the legend began. We also adopted the Ayr Marauders touring principles, many of which the White Hart Marauders still follow to this day For example every member of the touring party was given a tour title such as "Brief Spotter" and "Tour Joker"
We also included the best method ever developed for keeping male adults on tour from falling out with each other "the Wobbly Wig" This simple, but highly effective idea was plagiarized by Will Carling, England captain while on tour. More on our website here...
