About Me
- leedurhamstone
- White House, Tennessee, United States
- Raised in newspaper family in Central City, Kentucky. Survived and thrived in Peace Corps, in Jamaica (1979-82). Working on PhD Geographic Education, Texas State University. Besides Jamaica, I have lived in Taiwan (taught at medieval-looking Feng Jia University), Costa Rica (mildewed in the rain forest, four months), and Mexico (studied Maya archeology, in Yucatan). I have traveled four times in India, twice in China and Japan; and worked on archeology digs in Belize and England (Roman Fort on Tyne).
