Being a history teacher, or any teacher, is a great aspiration. When in high school in Texas, I wanted to be a history teacher and baseball coach. I achieved neither. But in my later years, I've been able to satisfy both by having played either baseball or softball throughout my life in the Navy and city leagues, managed/coached/played the last few years until I wore my body out. As for history, never got the chance to teach, but the last 10 years I've been lucky enough to not only ready and study about the parts of history that interest me the most, but I've been able to travel to and explore in depth these places. I've hit most of the Texas revolution sites, I've visted several Civil War sites, and mostly I've spent a lot of time in Montana and Wyoming exploring most of the sites of major battles with the Sioux and Cheyenne along the Bozeman Trail, Red Cloud's War, the Great Siouz Indian War of 1876, the Little Big Horn. I've met many people online, just like I've met some of you folks here, who study the Indian Wars, we've become friends, and now about every other year we meet in person in Montana and visit the various battle sites. Life can't get much better.
