Autorenporträt
I am a professed lover of America's National Park System. I have visited all 418 park units, as of 2018. No matter how large or small a park unit, 20 miles down the road or 5,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean (i.e. Guam), in solitude or with thousands of other visitors, I have enjoyed trekking to all of them. First-hand experience with each park is second to none. Over 250 units have welcomed me for multiple visits. Membership in the National Park Travelers Club was easily predictable. There is nothing like mingling with folks who have a similar interest. The sport of Baseball is close behind on my list of hobbies. I have played, coached, watched, and followed America's Pastime since I was five years old. Meeting and talking with the greats of the game (Mantle, DiMaggio, Williams, Snyder, etc.) over the last three decades, listening to their stories, watching each season's World Series, and enjoying my baseball card collection continue to fuel my enthusiasm. My maternal grandparents attended the first All-Star Game in Chicago, in 1933. How is that for lineage?
