| Introduction | Currently I am facilitating programs at Mt. Ephraim Senior Citizen Center and working on my Art. I paint landscapes and historic buildings. I was a volunteer at several local historic sites including the Whitall House, Red Bank Battlefield, National Park, the Indian King Tavern, Haddonfield, NJ, and Paulsdale, in Mount Laurel, now retired.. I'm a member of the Camden County Historical Society. Since I retired from teaching in 2006, I had done some part-time presentation work for CCHS and Moments in Time, a business providing historical programming to schools, and other venues. The Colonial and Revolutionary periods of South Jersey have become my passion and I've read many fascinating books on the subject. In past years, I've done family history and genealogy will be a part of this blog. The purpose of the blog is to acquaint my fellow history buffs with events at various sites in South Jersey, as well as locations. Since I get around to so many other sites and libraries, I thought it might be helpful to post events and report on visits to these sites to encourage networking, and sharing. |

Hobbies and Pets? I have a HuskyLab mix and I walk her a couple of miles every day. We call it the Border Patrol because we walk the border of our neighborhood. She thinks it is her job! My hobbies are painting and writing.
