V. Hobbies & Interests
Developing an interest in fossils in grade school, he now has a collection garnered from over 50 localities in the Mid Atlantic region. Besides doing private research and giving talks on the subject, in the 1980's, he took four years of honors geology courses at Montgomery College, Rockville MD, and also served as a docent in the Smithsonian Institute's Museum of History Naturalist Center, where he reorganized and added over 100 new specimens to the local rocks collection.
In 2010, he bought an un-restored 1969 Chevrolet Caprice, which has gone on to win national awards and recognition in the Historic Preservation of Original Features classes of several national classic car clubs. Traveling to various meets and shows has provided additional opportunities to document events and locals of interest that might otherwise be overlooked.
