I live in a town called Elkins (pop. 8,000), nestled in the mountains of North-Central West Virginia.  I am retired from state government, and spend my time traveling, computing and caring for my collection of antique pinball machines.  I also write for  WindoWatch eZine, whose editor, Lois Laulicht,  lives about 40 miles from me, near Valley Head, West Virginia. 

This site is devoted to my travels abroad, specifically, my September 1977 "grand" European tour; my May 2000 visit to Central and Eastern Europe; my July, 2000 visit to the Russian Federation; my June, 2001 visit to Ireland and The United Kingdom; my September, 2001 visit to Italy; and my May, 2002 visit to Germany.
