I manage the cultural resources program at Dayton's national park, which commemorates Wilbur and Orville Wright and their contemporary, poet Paul Laurence Dunbar, and preserves resources connected with them. I also am helping with the development of the Charles Young Buffalo Soldiers National Monument in Wilberforce, the country's 401st national park. Current research concerns the Wright Company of 1906-1916; Ohio University Press is working with me to publish "The Wright Company: From Invention to Industry." Look for it in January 2014. It's an excellent Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Festivus, Solstice, Anniversary, Birthday, and Why Not Raise Ed's Ranking on Amazon gift. Once it's out, that is.

I served as a supplemental English teacher at the First Ukrainian Gymnasium in Ivano-Frankivsk in the foothills of Ukraine's Carpathians, providing extra conversational and cultural experiences to Ukrainian students and teachers.
