| "Our Hearts Were Touched With Fire" discusses another hobby: Civil War reenacting. I set the site up in 1999 on the Geocities serve (in the days when "free" websites really were free. I was just learning to use Photoshop at the time, and the page was initially little more than an effort to showcase my skills in graphics and web-page design (I had thoughts of leaving academia and pursuing a career in typesetting and graphic design). When I got back into teaching, the site gradually evolved into a sort of "how to" guide for people seeking to enter the hobby.
We haven't been to a reenactment for a while, and the site is dormant, but I've decided to leave it intact.
