Mission Statement

Foreword

Everyone has to have a hobby and I am no different.  I love to read, and one day I ran out of anything new at home.  So to occupy myself in a manner of which my wife would approve, (Not always an easy thing to do) I decided to write something myself.
In the following posts, you will find the fruits of my labors.  I hope reading them will give you as much enjoyment as writing them has afforded me.  If not well, I'm sorry, but that's tough because, you see, it's my hobby and I'll do with it as I please.

The history I present will be the fruits of my own, sometimes shallow, attempts to piece together interesting facts and tidbits. I'll not be writing a text book and I lay no claim to being a scholar. I beg your patience and understanding as I attempt to humor myself.
