Sobre mi biblioteca
My library probably has more books about WWII than anything else. An uncle who was an officer in WWII had pictures and memorabilia about the war that peaked my curiosity and I've been reading books about it ever since beginning with "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich".

Sobre mí
There's nothing special about me. I'm just a lifelong reader. When I was 11 or 12 my step-dad told me he knew of a good story called 'The Yearling"; to all you out there who love books all I need to say is that started it all. There were a lot of years while I was working and raising 3 sons that I just didn't have the time to read but once I had the time I started to catch up.
