The View From Space

I named this blog “The View From Space” because I always look for the big picture. This often comes when you take a step back to see how the details fit together. I write about both current events and history because the two are inextricably linked. Everything in the news today was influenced by the past. Seeing the link between the past and present is crucial to understanding the big picture.

Originally from Kansas, I spent 21 years in the Air Force with stints in France, South Korea, Iraq, Pakistan and several stateside assignments before retiring to Pensacola. I have a B.A. in history and I’m all but thesis for a M.A. in history from the U. of West Florida. I also taught 8th grade world history and made an unsuccessful campaign for county commissioner in 2018.
