Everyone loves a good story. For thousands of years of human history, story-telling was the most important way to preserve the lessons learned in the past, and convey them to the current generation. In my study of the battles of Gettysburg and Antietam, and in my career with the space agency, I learned many fascinating stories. This page is where I offer to share some of them with you. My intent is to update this page of my web site every now and then with a story I hope you will find interesting.
