I am Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the son of a famous German psyhciatrist who instead of following in his father's footseps studied theology instead. Taught at Berlin University where he vocally opposed the Nazi phiolsophies being taught. He started the Confessing Church with Karl Barth to oppose the State Approved Lutheran Church, and he eventually was silenced from preaching. Bonhoeffer joined the Abwher (Military Intelligence) were he joined others in plots to assisinate Hitler. Bonhoeffer was arrested and improsened in 1943 (for using state money to free jews) where he wrote his most famous works like Ethics, Letters, and Papers from Prison, and the Cost of Discipleship. Bonhoeffer was incrimented in the July, 4 plot to blow up Hitler and hanged at Flossenberg about 4 days before the camp was liberated.
It's Roy, and you were right before, R. Tugwell was his mentor at Columbia.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer, his name just sounds like Luther, monks, wooden doors, brown habits... still can't quite understand that he was a modern guy. (Much as still can't understand that Laura Petrie and Mary Richards were actually THE SAME PERSON )
I havs to leave for a couple of days, so see you later, smart folks!

Reason: fixing a hole
My botany teacher in a Minnesota high-school inspired my love for plants, so
in the 1920's, I developed a product, and named it for a place that a main botanical ingredient came from. I used an advertising gimmick that made the name of my product a household word. The advertising was so popular that people actually looked forward to seeing it, and never tired of its clever varieties through its 35-year run. My business did wonderfully as a result, and I devoted myself to supporting the large public botanical garden, first created by my old botany teacher in a borrowed corner of a city park.
No, I think you're wrong, it is Richard Drew. He was from Minnesota, he developed his product in the 1920's, it was cleverly advertised and became a household word.
Well, my person was better and that's what counts.
I was born in California, served time in the military where I was a legal prosecutor and later took up that trade as a civillian. I would have gained no national fame had it not been for my being hired for a special political job by a friend of mine who had risen to a position of national power. My work was clandestine, involving theft, forgery and sabotage. However, despite being hired by a government figure, despite completing my mission, I was rewarded with a sentence of six months in prison, four of which I served. I have been depicted in an Oscar nominated film.
Location: Finally escaped The People's Republic of California
