Henry Lewis Stadler (March 23 1923 - July 22 2008)
Recently, we mourned the death of John's father in a memorial gathering in Berkeley, CA on August 2, 2008. Please go here for a retrospective of Henry’s correspondence, pictures, and obituary.
This site is still under construction, as is the new Maine house... but some NEW PHOTOS have been added. John's blog Expat Nation can be found at ExpatNation.Org. Russell's blog pantsfarm can be found at russellstadler.com. Recipes, journal entries and an online message board will be coming soon (really)! In the meantime, feel free to browse the site.

Expats of the World Unite!
If you are already an expat, you know what it feels like to be on the front lines of the globalization transformation. Even if you have managed to live your entire life without leaving your homeland, you might have noticed that things are different – there are a lot more "foreigners" walking around, for one. Different languages spoken on the street, different groceries available at the corner market, different ways to offend people with comics, or spitting, or asking for the check... There is something major going on in every city of the world – there is nothing to do but recognize it!But what, exactly, is it? Globalization is a term that usually refers to textile workers losing their jobs because everyone is shopping at Walmart. In fact, it is a transformation that is re-defining economics, culture, education, and politics everywhere in the world. And for those of us who are choosing to live, work, and travel further from our homeland, globalization means we are living on the bleeding edge.
