"Always an honest man, often a  great one, sometimes absolutely mad."

Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson, on John Adams.

First, yes, I'm the web guru of the family.

The first site I did was in the spring of 1994. It, in as much a preserved format as possible, is here. It was later encapsulated into a sub-directory of a site for one of my businesses. That page starts here.

Now, you'll find a lot of stuff on there that is old, and perhaps a bit embarrassing, let alone wrong. But, I'm a historian by training and desire, and I think the preservation of one's life is a very important thing we can do for our posterity. Which reminds me of my favorite quote...which I happened to make up myself!

So, you can get to know me here, that is for sure. Or, more exactly, know about me. Since anyone visiting is most likely family or friend, it's really just refresher information. Unless, of course, you are the woman who gave birth to me...well, I breach that topic elsewhere.

So, point and click, click and point. The links on the left will guide you through this once perilous journey that is now a wonder for me to behold. Welcome to my world!

Oh, and yes, that's my logo. Designed for me by Rich Hall in 1994 as I began my public speaking career. If you run into Rich, have him get in contact with me! The image has been a copyrighted logo since the early days, and officially marks our specific line of the Cowles Family.
