About Me
I am a retired banker and am researching to write a book about the Ohio and Mississippi Railroad which built a route through my home town of Washington, Indiana in 1857. This was the first railway to connect Cincinatti and St Louis.

My wife and I love to travel and we have been to 40 countries together.
