I am a fourth grade teacher and military history fanatic, motorhead, American history nut, and SAR member. My 2g grandfather Cpl Richard Hugh Stevens served in Co. A Stafford Rangers, 9th VA Cavalry, CSA; and my 5g grandfather Cpl John Lugar Wright served in Cpt William Winters' Company, 26th Bn., Charles County, Maryland Militia. I enjoy finding time to build military miniature models of all types and scales. My professional and personal goal is to gather and interpret period artifacts, accouterments, arms and armor spanning the history of America's emergence as an independent nation. Watching young learners sparkle with enjoyment as they relive exciting, authentic events from our collective past is probably the most rewarding thing about teaching American history!
