I have been a professional journalist, historian, and editor for 35 years since graduating with a masters degree in journalism from Colombia Journalism School. I have authored or co-authored 13 books, published dozens of articles in major magazines, and written introductions for numerous books.

Nearly 100 years ago, Sir James Murray, the longtime editor of the original Oxford English Dictionary, inscribed and sent a book of photographs of Oxford, England to my great-grandfather for his many important contributions to that groundbreaking dictionary.

In a similar vein, I have been delighted to help improve Wikipedia in a very modest way for 12 years, 5 months and 11 days, and have edited over 100 entries and made more than 1,000 edits.

Articles I have created include:

Al Hine - writer

Alexander G.B. Grosvenor - Naval officer

Bell and Gray controversy (major new section)

Byron Dobell - magazine editor

Calumet Bluff - landmark

Camp Mowglis - historic camp

Current Books - magazine

Daryl Davis - musician
