Hello Everyone,
I am a retired Public School Teacher and a retired Army/Army National Guard LTC and live in North East Florida.
I still have my membership card to the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy!
I am a former Small Town City Councilman and am active in our Local Tea Party and Republican Club.
My hobbies are Politics, Building Model Trains from scratch, and local history.
My big project these days is locating an old road built by the Brits in 1768 and restoring it as a hiking and biking trail. Along with this I have located but not pined down exactly the site of a US Army Log Fort built during the Seminole Indian Wars. One day I would like to see it reconstructed as a Museum and tourist trap.
I spend a lot of time in the swamps and scrub and since I am partly handicapped and cannot walk regular distances I got me a vehicle to help me get around.
A photo of a reconstructed fort like the one I am looking for.
I also volunteer at the Florida Agricultural Museum. Here I am with my friend "Buddy"
Here is one of the Model Trains that I built.
