Hello all. Former Maryland resident that left Frederick in 2010 after the economy tanked. Headed south for work and recently returned north to do some contract work in Virginia for Uncle Sammy. I'm currently running out of Middle River, MD.
My interest started with WWII and grew from there. Growing up in the mid-to-late '70s and '80s only furthered that interest with such wonderful Sunday morning children's programming as Rat Patrol on WBFF TV45. Right now, anyone who remembers that station is singing out the stations jingle in their head! But back then, it was quite common to see plenty of day-long marathons of good old WWII movies to pass a dreary fall or winters afternoon.
Since then my interest has primarily centered around the Vietnam-era. But just about anything can grab my interest depending on the mood.
I've had the opportunity to catch up with old friends I hadn't seen since moving south and they've filled me in quite a bit of what has been happening in MD while I've been away. I'm not impressed to say the least. So with that, I'll open the floor to any questions.
