From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

My first edit to Wikipedia was made 2006.09.19, on the topic of recorder of deeds. My background is as a generalist, and as an amateur genealogist. I am a technical writer by trade, good cook, and editor. Recently, I have been collaborating (primarily as editor and researcher) on a broad revision of Charles Derry's Dark Dreams, which updates his discussion from 1977 on the horror film. Charles is a film theoretician and historian who focuses on genre criticism, and my association with him (of 26 years now) has burnished my knowledge of film somewhat.

I am fluent in German, and I have some ability in French. I translate both languages to English on an occasionally for friends and for business. I can read and understand several other Romance languages also.

I imagine my contributions to the Wikicommunity will be rare, and, I hope, as accurate as humanly possible.

I'm always open to reasoned discussion, and often not defensive in receiving criticism. ...Just try me. (this is my dry humor showing here.) Tgkohn 16:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
