[Pieter]

Thanks Nicole, will do!

[Bryan]

Welcome, Pieter. I hope you enjoy what we have to offer here.

[Becky]

Welcome to the best little history club on the net, Pieter! Get comfy and enjoy!

[Mark]

Welcome Pieter! The New Haven, CT area is certainly a good base for journalism and exploring your interests in all aspects of history including maritime. I find your local area fascinating around the early 20th Century when crew was the popular collegiate sport. Some Harvard alumni would anchor off shore with 70 foot yachts to party and enjoy the regatta competition against Yale.

[Pieter]

That's funny, thanks Mark. I'm going to the Yale Corinthian Yacht Club (aka, "the yic-yic") in two weeks for some sailing lessons. It's great to be back in New England (I grew up here) after some time in DC and Colorado.

[Vicki, Assisting Moderator - Ancient Roman History]

Welcome Pieter. Sounds like you'll be right at home here.

[Jill H.]

Glad you found us, Pieter. Take a minute to browse the threads and participate in the discussions/book recommendations.
Questions?.........ask any of the moderators.....we are glad to help.

[André, Honorary Contributor - EMERITUS - Music]

Hi Pieter, welcome to the group.
Apart from all the fascinating discussions on history we also have quite a few fine threads on music - all kinds from all places.
Come take a look/listen if you like.
Best,
André

[Donna]

Hello,
I'm Donna from Pennsylvania. I'm a former educator, now retired, thus allowing me to pursue my interests which include travel (a goal is to visit every U.S. presidential museum/library), cooking (I'm trying to achieve the perfect homemade pizza, among other things) and Bridge. But my absolute passion is reading - mainly history and historical fiction. I've just begun to scratch the surface of the threads found here, but looking forward to being part of this group.

[Becky]

Hi Donna! Welcome to the best little international history book club on the net! :-) Congratulations on your retirement! We've got great books, discussions and people here so pull up a chair and get comfy.

For this club as you get started please take a moment to familiarize yourself with the "add book/author" feature when you comment. It makes things so much easier for people to see your book recommendations, because they can see the cover and the links to the author. And it helps the Goodreads software connect books with groups that talk about them. When citing a book and/or author, please put the book cover, author's photo and author's link after all of the text of your post at the bottom of the post . Placement at the bottom of the post calls the reader's attention to the book and/or author and increases the readability of your post. This is how a book you mention should look:

Welcome, Donna. You have found the place for the history lover I come from a Bridge playing family so I know the passion it can invoke!!! I'll also be interested to learn if you ever find the recipe for the perfect homemade pizza.
Please jump right into the discussions that are of interest to you....we welcome your participation.

[Alisa]

Donna, welcome to the group we are glad you found us. My view of the perfect pizza is that it all starts with the perfect crust, and from there you are golden. Fun pursuit, keep us posted on your progress!

[Vicki, Assisting Moderator - Ancient Roman History]

Welcome Donna. Definitely let us know when you perfect that recipe for pizza. Maybe Bentley can set up a recipe section. ;-)

[Mark]

Welcome Donna, to the global History Club. You have a lot of great interests to pursue. I grew up playing family rubber bridge at an early age. While in college I read all of Goren’s Bridge and during my final year of college I joined the duplicate bridge club, collecting points.

Hello! Thrilled to have discovered this group today. I am an avid reader from Northern California who enjoys hiking, photography and archery in her spare time. Aside from historical fiction, American history, military history and political biographies are favorite topics of exploration. Looking forward to joining in on the conversation!

Hi all,

[Rozzer]

I've seen in recent newspapers articles about the dates of Spanish cave paintings having been pushed back to 40,000 B.C. or so. Can anyone suggest some new non-fiction on that era? Or is this the wrong thread to ask about it?

Hi Rozzer, I personally cannot help you with this but I suggest you try the art thread.

[Cindie]

Hello all, I'm Cindie, checking in and saying hi. I am going to be as active as possible as I balance "real life" with getting lost in books (as I'm sure you all do). I love history and would very much like to get into a broader range of historical books!

I've looked over Andre's helpful welcome posts with the book formatting, so I will do my best to blend in right away with the discussions :). Can't wait to start conversing with all of you!
