Anachronistic in nature, the author enjoys the old ways, but does live and try to tolerate the modern world. A history buff for sure, any history on any topic is sure to be of interest. He has been married to his high school sweetheart for over thirty years. He works to live, disguised as a salesman for a small family business that produces primary metals. Pretty much a tinker, he relaxes by repairing mechanical things of interest, and collecting antique toys and machinery. Family, home, and friends are all an important part of his life.
