  • A Few Bold Predictions!

    A Few Bold Predictions!

    I’ve done about all I can to be ready.  It’s been four months of steady preparation, with the last month feeling a lot like a cattle drive! I have requested several dozen 400-year-old documents for viewing in five different archives, have planned stops at around a dozen historic sites (including 4 churches), have arranged around a dozen appointments, will be giving three presentations and have arranged three happy hours / mixers.  Now, it’s time to finish packing, relax, and settle into the reality that not everything is going to go my way.

    Announcement! The Public Debut of “The Quest for the Lost Lord Keeper” !

    This is going to be a very big year for “the Quest”!  There has been a breakthrough – a dramatic one – which I will be writing about once I am back from my trip to the UK.  I always knew there would be a “right time” to start taking this story public, and I’ve decided that time is now.  While I am in the UK, I will be giving two talks in Jersey, and will also be presenting my research into the historic “Trial of Strafford” painting at Westminster in London.  Finally, a week after I return home, I will present the U.S. debut of the “Quest for the Lost Lord Keeper” at the beautiful Cherokee Castle in Sedalia.
