I have had an account at Wikipedia since 25 July 2005.

I was gone for quite a while in protest but I came back in 2021.

ETC.
Have joined in 2020 Wikipedia Women in Red Project

I grew up in the Pacific Northwest. I am interested in local history and especially biographies. I am a photographer and I enjoy preserving and archiving historical photographs. I currently live in Idaho/Washington.

I am a descendant of Longhunter s.

Women's pages

 * Louise Dahl-Wolfe
 * Grace Drayton

 * Nan Koehler this page for an important American midwife in Delivery after previous caesarean section was deleted, which filled me with rage. still working on getting it back up again

Other (End of pages I created.)
 * American Fancy - decorative style
 * Bailey-Matthews National Shell Museum
 * Bart the Bear my favorite actor
 * List of most expensive photographs
 * I saw a documentary on the Z Channel so I created a page for it. I had never seen the channel but I thought it was pretty interesting - all those great movies. I didn't really see many movies until I bought a VCR in the 1980s. Reading about Z Channel led me to create the Jerry Harvey (screenwriter) page (he chose the movies for Z Channel). I was sad to read about the despair that made him murder his girlfriend and then commit suicide. I was thinking about Phil Hartman, too, at the time. And how I missed his comedy. And so I created Category:Murder-suicides as a kind of memorial to people we have lost this way. I see it has branches now like Category: Murder-suicides in the United States. But the original category I created.
 * Lynn Harrell
 * Maurice Mességué
 * Vernacular photography
 * Mechanical bank
 * Devil Anse Hatfield
 * Native American Music Awards
 * Mexican divorce I'm surprised this one is still on Wikipedia. But I hope it stays because I want this to be my legacy - the person who added Mexican divorce to Wikipedia.
 * Category:Jewel thieves
