Hobbies & Personal Interests

Fly Fishing
• Fly Fishing - My wife and I enjoy fly fishing for the elusive brook trout in the streams and rivers of the Shenandoah Mountains.
  
  
• Murray's Fly Shop, headed by Harry Murray, a gifted angler and raconteur, can help with all aspects of fly fishing.



• Thornton River Fly Shop in Sperryville, Virginia is another excellent source for the angler.
  
  American History

• The Civil War Round Table of the District of Columbia furthers and stimulates interest in the military history of the United States, particularly that of the Civil War through discussions, tours of historical sites and a speaker's program. Meetings are held at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C.




An Instance of “Politics Makes for Strange Bedfellows” or Lincoln’s Magnanimity? by John D. Woodward, Jr. This article discusses the unusual circumstances of the first meeting between Abraham Lincoln and Edwin Stanton. (Available on the The Green Mountain Civil War Round Table web site.)



• The Surratt Society, founded in 1975, encourages on-going research into the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.



• The Supreme Court Historical Society is devoted to expanding public awareness of the history and heritage of the United States Supreme Court.
  
  
  
  Intelligence Community & National Security Affairs

• The Association of Former Intelligence Officers ("AFIO") As a former CIA officer, I retain a keen interest in U.S intelligence community matters. AFIO promotes greater public understanding of the role and importance of intelligence, and the need for a strong and healthy U.S. intelligence and counter-intelligence capability.
