A lifelong educator I have begun to work more during semi-retirement on writing. I write everything from short stories and poems to articles on archaeology, history and education and serve as the editor of the annual publication of a regional historical association. I also enjoy working with archives of old historic photographs. I have had several books published by Arcadia Publishing. I'm trying to get more active on blogging, but still have a ways to go. My most recent crusades are to help revive two local history groups.
