I was born in Maryland and spent my first thirty years living there, first in the Appalachian Mountains, then on the Eastern Shore, and later in suburban Washington. After a year in South Carolina, I moved to Georgia in 1977. I soon met another park ranger who worked in Florida. She was a wonderful woman who became my best friend. then my wife, and soon the mother of our three children. I spent over eleven years working in the historic city of Savannah, Georgia, and on the moss-draped sea islands nearby before moving to Atlanta.. In 2007, I retired from the National Park Service and a career dedicated to preserving and interpreting resources and themes in the cultural and natural history of the United States. It was a most rewarding experience. Today, I enjoy living in the rolling hills and woods of the Appalachian Piedmont east of Atlanta.
Scott Johnson has a short piece today on Power Line about the interpretation of the 1961 Kennedy-Khrushchev meeting in Vienna. That meeting paved the way for the building of the Berlin Wall. It underscores how even the most seemingly benign decision made by an American president can have a far-reaching, negative impact on our world. Plenty of links and book recommendations, as well.
