8) Work with British Government entities promoting tourism and exports, and reporting on the Cold War.
A brief summary of the wide scope of successful work I did in the years after I was brought back to the UK by the British Government to create content for the media to promote exports and tourism.
• My most important success was saving Farmhouse Cheeses by using the media to create an export market and also to create an interest in touring Farmhouse Chese country.

• For tourism, I specialized in finding new destinations and activities, and extending the 'shoulders' of the existing tourist season. I then developed promotions in the media, including for the Inland Waterways, spas, castles, stately homes, Royal events, and themed driving tours in rural England, such as King Arthur, coastal Britain, etc., and in my cheese country driving tour the 'search for the Dorset Blue Vinney' kept the memory alive and it is being made again.
• Arrangements were made by British government entities to facilitate the various aspects of my work and I had great fun riding around London on a brewery wagons pulled by a Shire horse who knew every pub and stopped for red lights. I also did media creation at Royal events and painted commissioned Royal portraits for the media.

• Because I had done media work of the art and architecture for J. Paul Getty's Malibu museum before it opened to the public, I was asked to cover Leeds Castle in Kent, the historic London pubs, etc.

• I covered events of the Queen's Jubilee and was credentialed for the wedding of Prince Charles and Princess Diana.
• In other years, I provided media coverage for Britain as an investigative foreign correspondent in the hottest spots in the Cold War.

The research I did and and locations I found in Britain are still a source used by the media,
I have decided to make a much larger selection my work in Britain available to the general public, on my web site.

"Mac Visionary". The official Mac evangelist, Guy Kowasaki, said on the stage at MacWorld, "There are two Mac visionaries, Steve Jobs and D'Lynn Waldron." This is because I had used the first pressure sensitive tablet (after telling Wacom how to make their driver work with the Mac) and the first Raster-Ops 24 bit board, to create the sensation-causing first realistic full color digital painting, which was exhibited at conventions and featured on computer magazine covers with my articles on the technology I used.
