What you'll find contained on these web pages isn't the work of a Master
Historian or a Professional Genealogist, but just an average person, that when an interest arises, gets a itch to find out more about the subject, and usually ends up scratching/compiling the information and adding some additional personal insight/comments. This is pretty true of everything you'll find on my personal website, including this local historical Society's website which I write for and maintain.I've worked 33 years for the largest medical manufacturer in the world performing a wide variety of jobs in engineering and manufacturing, so unless I'm away vacationing, much of my recreational time is spent being inquisitive, generally with too many irons in the fire at one time. Something that probably won't change much when I get around to retiring. I hope these pages will somehow benefit this website's visitors as many have been with other topics.

Just like a good wine, I, and these web pages, will get better over time! |
