Mandy lives in his homes - in a near westside suburb of Chicago, IL and a farm house in Mid-Michigan.  He studies and travels as the spirit moves him.  Mandy gladly speaks before his fellow Toastmasters club members, who like to hear his tales, gathered during times of war and peace, and on or off the road.  In 1961 Mandy was on-site with the archeological expediton at Nahal Mishmar in the Judean Desert exposed the 442 artifacts of Chalculytic treasure dated back to 3,500 B.C.*   In the 1990s he tracked the Ruta Maya, visiting Uxmal, Palenque, Yaschilan and Bonampak among other sites.  He is an associate clinical professor of medicine at the Rosalind Franklin University/The Chicago Medical School, North Chicago, IL.
