Thanks for your comments
Thank you all for you great comments about my site both here and on facebook. Please feel free to contact me here or ask any questions about History Detectives, art, antiques, research etc. It is always fun to hear from other people who have the same passions.
In Baltimore this weekend visiting my family with my two sons. They are very happy to be here as always. Forty family members had lunch together today and one of the waitress was crying . When I asked her what was wrong her reply was ” Nothing. Just seeing all these children/cousins so happy together makes me cry of joy.” I guess that’s the best complement a family can have!
Elyse,
So glad to find your website. I am a homemaker and mom to my 14 and 9 year olds. My 14 year old son is passionate about all things history, and History Detectives is his favortie show. We catch it every chance we get on our local PBS station, and his first item on his Christmas list were DVDs of the show. His dad and I complied! One time he was asked what famous person he would like to meet, while other kids listed sports heroes and rock stars, he listed you, Tukufu, Les, and Gwendolyn. Keep up the great work of bringing history alive to each generation. God bless and Merry Christmas!
Family and close friends are the real treasures of life. With all the small historical objects I have gathered along the way in my sixty plus years, none are as valuable as the people and memories!
Elyse: I love what you do. I need your advice and help. I got a MA with historic preseration/cultural resource management three years ago. I am looking for contract work. Have had one paid contract work in three years. My question is: (1)If an organization, individual, township should contact me to do research on any type of antiquity?what would be my pattern of research to return back the finished report? (2)Do I charge gas mileage from my home to do all research places; what if I have to get help from someone that specializes in the object if I cannot find info..is that a charge to the person hiring me to find out? (3)Is it better for me to charge for the entire project plus mileage and expenses or hourly plus any expenses..and have the pressure? Your reply would be graciously appreciated.
I would like to say keep up the great work .I love exploring history my favorite is the 13 colonies that started this great nation .my quote about history is it shows where you have been and where you can go
