I had an interest in the underdogs of life early on, and started drawing political cartoons whilst still at school and have been giving people the benefit of my opinions ever since. I have drawn for national newspapers and travelled extensively in the States over many years. Having graduated with both a History degree and a Law degree taught me the skills for hunting wasps in libraries.

David – since you don’t have categories, I don’t know how to pull up the posts about “America’s noble families”. I know htere’s some good reading in there, but I don’t know how to get to those particular posts . . . . ?
Good point! In the revamp this seems to have been ignored! I have now put the categories back into the rght hand side-bar and if you click the drop down box and go to Family Trees you will get the posts with family trees. There are other more general ones without trees but with info under the Political Families too. Hope that helps

Ruth sent me a very funny Christmas card from you both …. thank you. She used her “initiative” to send it to a c/o address for me …. but failed to add a current address for herself!
Can you pass on my regards and hope for a 2012 that is everything you both wish for …. and a request for an email with news …. my email address is the same as always!
