What does a retired secondary school teacher/guidance counsellor do when he is not working on his novel?He volunteers with the Hamilton Historical Board. I am currently Chair of the Communication and Education Sub-Committee, and a writer and member of the Editorial Team for our magazine historiCITY, which will be focusing on the War of 1812 during the entire three year Bicentennial. The Hamilton Historical Board provides a Speakers' Bureau for the community and I participate in this endeavour as well.
At present I am willing to give three different talks: "James FitzGibbon's War: The War of 1812 As Seen Through One Soldier's Eyes," "Who Really Won the War of 1812?" and "Life in Upper Canada During the War of 1812". And of course, I am willing to give "An Author's Talk on Redcoat 1812." Anywhere within an hour's drive of my home in Hamilton, Ontario is a definite possibility.
