I LOVE knowledge and I spend hours upon hours reading up on historical events. I also love antiques especially Federalist & Victorian erafurniture, paintings, silverware, coins & paper currency, stamps, antiquebooks (100 years old), and anything ele you could possibly think of. Often when I got to Europe I search the properties that I inherited for artifacts, with those items currently being on loan to the local museum there. When I was younger I can recall one summer when I read all of the "World Encyclopedia" volumes... and yes!--- from A to Z. I also remember reading books on historical acounts... mostly involving Ancient Civilizations. I am very found of research and I have written several books which I am in the process of completing of "The History of Portugal," "The Monarchies of Portugal," "The Ruins of Rome," "Sino-American relations and the Fall of Rome," and several other such titles, all of which I have had copywritten and protected.
