The 38th IVU World Vegetarian Congress was in Dresden, German.

I have since lost that Kodak 3.2 megapixel digital camera and replaced it with one, a second, and now a third digital camera that isn't quite so good, though now i'm working with an 8.0 megapixel camera. I think i need a Canon PowerShot, so photographers - share your thoughts and insights with me.

The 39th IVU World Vegetarian Congress is expected to be again in SE Asia.

After quite a few very interesting years working (and learning) at TTC, I left.

Now I'm working again entirely in Boston's Longwood Medical Area.
I have been work for Harvard Medical School and Harvard School of Public Health off and on since the early 1990s.

I'm active in several local Meetups, but three are vegetarian-related:
Boston Vegan Meetup
Boston Vegetarian Meetup Boston Veggie Meetup

My Yahoo 360 BLOGS were under maynardclark and maynardsclark.
When Yahoo! CLOSED the 360 blogging platform and allowed us to migrate our content to the Yahoo! profiles, the first of those two blogs had brought me about 1.3 million different readers who joined one or both of these blogs and stay in touch with me.My MSN/Microsoft Live Spaces blogs are found at

I continue to blog on a Yahoo! platform at my two Yahoo! profiles (maynardclark and maynardsclark), and if you try to access the earlier 360 blogs, you will be redirected to the Yahoo! profile corresponding to that profile/360 blog.

My nine (9) Google Blogspot blogs are at

Other current photos of me will be found with my current writings on my various blogs. Join them all!!

All of us should live as vegetarians -- vegans -- because we ARE vegetarians (vegans) anatomically.
Social behavior contradicts this anatomical reality because that fact isn't widely recognized by our species.

The Vegetarian Resource Center's byline has been "Making Connections for Plant-Based Diets since 1993"











Summerfest Photos

Every year, the North American Vegetarian Society (NAVS) holds an annual NAVS Vegetarian Summerfest (often in Johnstown PA). Chef Ken Bergeron, CEC, holder of gold, silver, and bronze medals in the International Culinary Olympics and author of Professional Vegetarian Cooking, organizes the kitchen and makes possible three (3) vegan buffet meals daily AND vegan snacks throughout the evenings (dfuring socializing and evening entertainment after the evening plenaries).

Years ago, while I was a first-year graduate student at Harvard, a young vegetarian schoolteacher tried her darnedest to persuade a young Maynard S. Clark to go vegetarian in the tradition of Frances Moore Lappe's Diet for a Small Planet.

At a local church where I worked, we had a "Gather Inn" for professional adults. I was in charge, and we did international dinners prepared in the church kitchen by volunteers. Conversations ensued, and the international 'dining in' at cost (of food/materials) made a great social event in harvard Square.

Two 20-something vegetarian women (one lacto-vegetarian and one ovo-vegetarian) worked on me (one more than the other), and their meals together worked out to be dietary vegan meals.

August 14th is the birthdate of the one who worked most diligently on me.

She moved away from Boston, but her birthdate is recalled every year because 'way back then' I went vegetarian - then vegan.

So that's why August 14th is a VERY SPECIAL DAY for Maynard S. Clark.

I am just overwhelmed by the work I have to do at home, at HMS, and at HSPH - and my very best friend will be here this weekend.

I ask all my friends, acquaintances, and would-be friends to 'friend' me on all OTHER social media UNTIL Facebook increases total allowable connections beyond 5000 (I have maxed out with the TOTAL number of friends, groups, contacts, fanning, etc = 5000) and to READ MY BLOGS here and all the others, all linked at http://Maynard.Clark.GooglePages.com

Oddly, I'm taking a day off from work to sleep. Is being tired a result of feeling overwhelmed?
