Lyle Courtsal is a disabled author/activist who has worked
variously as a school bus driver, tree planter, truck driver, and shipyard
laborer. He has also attended three colleges, but prefers studying on his
own. During the past several years, he has developed a street outreach
method for getting intensively self-poisoned, dually-diagnosed addict/alcoholics
off the streets and into truly helpful hands while maintaining constitutional
standards of non-discrimination and privacy. His technique has an 80
percent success rate.
Lyle likes really big, old, live trees; Frisbees; sailing;
mid-70s long nose Kenworths going really fast; hardcore rock; true decency;
generosity of spirit; and freedom. He presently more-or-less exists in
Seattle, Washington. He goes to church at least once a month whether he
needs it or not. He also has a website at http://www.dopewar.org.
