About |
Biographer of lesser-known women and men in American history such as Antoinette Brown Blackwell, the first American woman to be ordained a minister by a congregation (1853) and Maria Mitchell, the first American woman to discover a comet: Comet Mitchell (1847). Contributing Writer to the Havre de Grace (Maryland) Decoy Museum's publication "The Canvasback". As such, biographies of noted decoy carvers and collectors inform the public of this little known hobby which became a lively business for many men and women. In 2008 published "Democracy vs. Theocracy: The President and the Senate Will Decide YOUR FUTURE" which defines the slippery slope America began sliding down thirty years ago in becoming a Christian theocracy. The election of 2008 interrupted that slide; the elections of 2010 and 2012 will be crucial to retaining the American democracy. Other credentials include biographical sketches of Rev. Blackwell and Ms. Mitchell to be found at the Unitarian Universalist Association's Dictionary of Unitarian Universalist Biography (uua.org/duub) and in the anthology "Voices From the Susquehanna", a 2005 publication of the Harford Writers Group, Harford County, Maryland. Currently, writing personal biographies for local citizens and a second book concerning the call to the ministry: possible significance in how it is discerned and answered by men and women.
