Well, I've landed. I've landed in Waco and I hope I can stay in one place for a little while. In March I accepted a new position as Collections Assistant at the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame & Museum, and moved from Richmond up to Waco.

From there we hiked through fields to reach the site of the battle of Bosworth, and the visitor center … Continue reading CS Hike Bosworth Battlefield
