Since he wrote the poem in 1934 and it was published, it has taken on a life of its' own and is usually seen as anonymous.  Sadly some people have even taken to putting their name on it as their own creation.  It escapes us as to why someone would falsely take credit for a poem about being honest with your self.  One fellow in Salt Lake City, Utah said he wrote it in 1946 and the list goes on.  Others have badly misquoted the poem, substituting the word 'self' for 'pelf', 'man in the glass' for 'guy in the glass' and others have left out other parts.  Each word was chosen by him carefully and has special meaning.  We are immensely proud of his work and welcome any and all dialogue from interested parties.  Our hope here is just to set the record straight and to provide the poem as it was actually written for any and all to use as our father's gift to the world.  Our father was the most gifted and caring person we ever knew.... he would have wanted his work to be a gift and so do we.  All we ask is that you properly credit him somewhere in your publication as the author.
