I am s semi retired history teacher, teaching history at Kennebec Valley Community College in Fairfield, Maine. I have always used primary sources in my research and teaching, as a reader can see in my book on William George Gabain. I am a graduate of Ithaca College in 1970, with a BA in history, and from the University of Virginia with an MA in History, in 1973. I did complete all of my course work for the Phd. I have traveled around the world, and lived in the UK.
