A Little Bit About Me

me-in-the-car-dec-2007-smaller.jpg

I love history - especially that which involves the Red River Valley between Texas and Oklahoma (loosely defined, of course). To that end, I teach history at a college, have my own site devoted to Red River history, and take WAY too many road trips. I love to photograph ghost towns and decrepit old buildings. I also like to ride my bike, day dream, read, live a simple life, and learn all I can about the Southern Plains Indians (especially the Kiowas).

My goal in life is to be creatively self-employed. And to move to a house that has a front porch.

    Hi, Robin,
    I’m 99% sure you remember me. We worked together in Paris, Texas about 15 years ago. Are you still chasing tornadoes?
    By the way, have you ever researched the Kiowa? It seems there was a chief of some stature named Spotted Tail. He is burried in Buckner, Texas. That’s where you’ll find me.

    Hello Chris,

    Of course I remember you! It’s nice to hear from you again. I’m going to look up Spotted Tail, because I haven’t heard of him. Chasing tornadoes is something we still do when there’s occasion… our son likes to do with us.

    Thanks for dropping by!

    I do not have a website yet, but want to set one up very soon. Interestingly enough a friend found this website and shared it with me because I have just written a book to be published in the fall. It is name “Sharecropping in North Louisiana: A Family’s Struggle through the Great Depression.” It is the true story of my mother’s family whose parents were sharecroppers in Caldwell and Richlard Parishes in Northeast Louisiana in the early part of the 1900s. Mother told me the story and we wrote it together last year. She is now 82 and lives with me in Camden, AR. She will be moving back to Louisiana soon (to Bastrop). Your website is very interesting and I hope you will watch for our book as I think it will interest you as well. I will be watching your website for your interesting travels. I love to travel too and will be going to Alaska next spring with my husband in our motorhome. Good travels to you!
