Some of these articles I wrote years ago specifically for the web page, a couple were done for publication in magazines, but most were done for the Hit & Miss, the monthly newsletter I create for the Western Antique Power Associates.

The newsletter articles are fun, because limited space mandates that the articles are short and to the point. Also, I have full control over the content, layout and presentation.

I've never been a strong writer, but I welcome the challenge of the editorship. Writing forces me to formulate my thoughts in a precise and logical manner, it helps hone my communication skills, and it leads me into avenues of research and learning that I would otherwise overlook.
