I am historian. One of the historian’s chief jobs is to write things down. and preserve them. Save things from being forgotten. Maybe even rescue things that were pushed aside, passed down and possible almost thrown away, —and most importantly, pass them on, in a format that future generations will use, make them searchable, with as much detail as you can. I am writing about events, people or items that were from this town before I was here. I have researched all records, archives and talked to people who told me stories they have heard from their family on these events. I have gathered their opinions some good, some funny, some… well, I am not sure how they every came up with them and in the process, I learned not only more about the story, but the town and the people themselves. I love every minute of it. I love hearing people my age and older reminisce about their childhood, with smiles and sometime tears. One man told me stories his Uncle had told him, they were Science Fiction to the Max, at a time when it was oral stories only. He told me how kids would come and sit, spell bound while his uncle told them stories. I have them written down, and hope to use them again for a article in the newspaper or maybe in a book of odds and ends.

The above cover is a book, that will be out soon, as well as a ebook.  This is my second book to write, and I have a third book started.  History is all around us. All we need to do is stop and think, and maybe read a little!
