Golf—I like to play fast and walk (the way golf was meant to be played). I love to be first out at daylight and walk at least 18 holes and often 27 or 36 at a time. Even better if my son or daughter join me!



Reading or studying about 19th century American West - from Lewis & Clark to Wounded Knee. My interest was initially sparked on a side trip through Lincoln, New Mexico (while traveling with the family) which exposed me to "Billy the Kid" and all of the legends and myths surrounding the Lincoln County Wars. A couple of books later and I was hooked. Learning about the actual events, reconciling fact and myth, finding out for myself and just going through the discovery process fascinated me. It is kind of like a forensic process to solve the mystery or puzzle. I enjoy actually traveling throughout the West in addition to reading about the events. I specifically like to visit small towns or places of significant historical importance.
