New to the Process
I've edited an article for the first time yesterday, October 22, 2006. It took over 6 hours for me to finish. This time included reading about how to do it all, practicing, and then finally uploading. It was gratifying to see the new information included in the article. I hope to be able to add more in the future.

I became aware of Wikipedia, and the upcoming Citizendium, doing research for the Southern Campaign of the Revolutionary War. I agree with the goals and expectations of these two online resources.

Researching for an Exhibit
The research has been in preparation for a permanent exhibit, The Crossing of the Dan, to be housed in The Prizery located on the Town of South Boston, Virginia, part of Halifax County.

Personal Profile
Born in Tipton, Indiana, in 1944. Retired. I create Web sites for local non-profits for free and sell the ones I do for businesses. I maintain a site about Halifax County, Virginia, that includes over 100 pages of photos and histories of the old homes that still exist, some of which were built in the mid-1700s. See oldhalifax.com.
