Before the Beginning


It takes me a while before I can perform meritorious writings on community history and heritage. I have a passion for accuracy which results in the need for several years of indepth research. It is important to have access to historical and archival information and it is not unusual to me to be confronted by some resistance in acquiring meaningful data from individuals and institutions that hold their ground in protectionism.

Needless to say, I have reached some great successes in uncovering some facts that are open and available through the internet arena. It is for this reason I enjoy expounding through personal websites. In this regard, I am most fortunate in having access to the John Cross Bank of Eureka Springs data bank of old photographs.
