You never said what you might do now. Are you a professor in history at a university?

No, although the Mrs wants me to do that.

I'm wrapping up a BA in history now and then I'd like to start a Masters in history.

My purpose in doing so is simply for my own enjoyment.

I look at all the folks who write about firearms (Supica, Wilson, Nahaus, Brophy, Jinks, Ruth, Pate, Canfield) and none are classically trained historians.

They all produce exceptional product and I thought that if I were to be a classically trained historian, the quality of my research and writing might improve and perhaps I could bring a more academic quality to the field of firearms history.

I knew you could do it!!!!!!!
Have you thought about doing it at the Annual in Concord, NC this June?

My circumstances have changed. With a great deal of prompting from my remarkably (surprisingly?) supportive spouse, I'm looking into attending NC next month.

I've reached out Mike SPEERS to see if it's still possible. The hotel cutoff date was a couple days ago, but..........

The speakers have all been booked by now of course, but IF IF IF this comes together, I'll bring copies of my NYCPD records and anyone who has a suspected NYPD gun can spelunk through them.

Been quite some time since I attended one of these things.

VERY much looking forward to meeting you!

Another for you

I know I'm late to the party (congratulations on your thesis, BTW), but I picked this one up at a local gun show this past weekend in Southern Indiana. I have no information on the gun and the box does not appear original to the gun.
