Welcome, let me tell you a bit more about myself.

Historian, author, newspaper columnist and photographer.
 
Historian: focus is on Revolutionary War era, Manhattan Project, Cold War and modern history.
 
Author: have written six books and have three more completed but not yet published.
 
Newspaper columnist: Historically Speaking, published each Tuesday in The Oak Ridger.
 
Photographer: nature, scenic, travel and family are favorite subjects.

I grew up on a farm, married my high school sweetheart and am a Vietnam veteran. My family is my pride and joy.  Grandkids are great!
