Sure–whenever you’d like!

Hi, Michael!
I met you when you gave a presentation last fall here at the Dorchester County Historical Society in Dorchester County, Maryland. I graduated with my bachelors in history and now I’m working on my Masters concentrating in African-American history. I hope everything is well with you and hope to see you again soon. I have shared your link with my sister Peggy, a PH.D candidate in Agro-ecology and sustainable farming at the University of New Hampshire. I expect she’ll send you a reply as well! Best of everything to you!
Michael, wanting to re-connect with you.
I’m now working as a research associate at UDC’s College of Ag, Urban Sustainability and Enviro Science, still with WPFW and the enviro show EcoShock. I also have a new website and blog. Please contact. Peace and blessings.
