In my retirement I've researched and compiled several booklets relating to my heritage: Scandinavian Ancestors from the 1600s; Early 1600s Colonist ancestors from southern England; Military activities and family history of ancestors beginning with the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Military of Boston in the 1650s through the Revolutionary War, War of 1812, and Civil War.
Participate in several Elderhostels and continue to travel.
Remain active in the Santa Clara County Genealogical and Historical Society.
