After I retired in late 2008, I decided to volunteer as a docent to spend productive hours. I became a volunteer docent at both the Workman and Temple Families Homestead Museum and the Nixon Presidential Library. 

My love of history has led me to read many books on a wide variety of historical topics, but I have focused a great deal of attention on California history. At the Homestead Museum, docents are encouraged to read books from its library and submit book reviews. My book reviews will be posted on this blog from time to time. Other book reviews will be posted as I see fit.
