A farm boy who left the farm to make a life in the big city. After 33 years retired from teaching. Now a gardener, a self-appointed family historian, an avid reader of historical novels and "real" history books. A collector of things, hence the need to down-size, but I can't get rid of my eight cuckoo clocks; nor can I part with my "hen-on-nest" dishes, etc., etc.
