'Donald R. Hoke, Ph.D.'

I am Donald R. Hoke, a Recovering Museum Director and Historian of Technology. (I have been Museum Director Free for over five years!)

I hold a BA in Economics/Theater, a MA in History of Technology, and a Ph.D. in Economic History. My Watch and Clock Disease is in remission, as is my Typewriter Disease, but I now suffer from chronic Steam Car Disease.

The Better Half and I live in Dallas, TX, own three Stanley Steam Cars, and operate Vintage Steam Products, a micro business making steam car parts. We created the non-profit Virtual Steam Car Museum to share steam automobile information world wide. Lois Lerner approved the VSCM's IRS non-profit status.
