MY LIFE AS A LECTURER ON P.E.I. HERITAGE
The following blog posts on Island history and heritage all started life as lectures illustrated with colour slides and later, PowerPoint presentations. I gave my talk – only to have it dissolve into a mist when everybody went home. The reason I chose to take on this blog project was to rescue all that knowledge and those insights from the mist so that, for a while, they would live again. All of the following posts derive from lectures I have given over the past 45 years.

SECOND SERIES
When I planned this blog I decided that I would include an autobiographical section that would describe the heritage-related events in the first fifty years of my life, from childhood, to success as a self-employed Heritage Consultant, and the activities of my retirement. These blog posts will eventually be removed from the sequence and converted into an autobiographical essay which will be available as a pdf file among my publications on the right side of the blog page.
