Gee...I watch a lot of History Channel and Discovery Channel and even Nature, Nova and The Learning Channel...I am especially interested in history up to and including the Korean War, so I will most certainly keep you in mind when I have a question.

Do you like astronomy? We have a really great observatory, and the library is hugh with lots of series books. Some epople get really stuned when they check things out here because of all the owrk...

And if you have any questions about the castle, SOMEone will answer...whether or not it's correct is beside the point...

Perhaps you could help me arrange the library into a more "user friendly" room? There's a fireplace there, and lots of furs, as well as "room service" so it should be a nice place to visit for you. We've been collecting books for a long time. Let us know what you would like to do here.

My grandfather served as an advisor in Korea before the Korean War. He led the South Korean forces during the Yuso-Sunchon Revolt, which is often considered the first battle of the Korean War. During the fight, my grandfather and a lieutenant were wounded and another captain was killed, yet the Pentagon refused to give them Purple Hearts, stating that there weren't any Americans infovled in combat on the Korean Peninsula.

I have the after-action report for this battle and am currently working on a magazine article about the battle. I'll let you know if I ever get it published.
