On 9 March I'm giving a presentation to the West Springfield Rotary Club

If I have any more radio interviews or such, I'll post them here, if I can remember!

THE BASICS

This page is intended to list upcoming events -- appearances, a new publication, whatever.

You may want to hide this section as you construct your website so you can focus on other sections instead. (It may make sense to start with just three sections: a home page, My Works page and Biography).

To hide this or any section, click on the "Edit menu" box directly above the navigation bar (the bar that lists "Home, My Works, Biography," etc.) Click the appropriate "hide" buttons, and save the result.

This section, and any section, can also be renamed by using the "Edit menu" box. See the Help section in the toolbar at the top of the page for more information.

This information also appears in the Help section in the toolbar at the top of the page. Delete this entire entry by clicking the small blue "Delete" box that appears directly above this entry when you're in Edit Mode.

Events

I would like to donate the research material (about 24 boxes of files) I gathered while writing Strength of the Wolf and Strength of the Pack. The National Security Archive took my Vietnam material. If you know of a similar place or a library that might be willing, please let me know. Thanks.

This page informs viewers about forthcoming events relating to you and your works. If you have many upcoming events, you may want to use headers to separate them by month, region or type of event. ("July Events," "Bay Area," "On the Radio," etc.)

You can hide the entire page by clicking on "Edit menu" above the navigation bar.
