A, B, C's of LEADNoBS BLOG

• A -- This is and probably always will be a work that needs improvement.
• B --  I don't claim to have much of a journalistic bent. I tend to get a little 'wordy', something a blogger is supposed to avoid - oh well! 
• C -- I'll try to live up to 'NoBS' (Boy Scouts; Barbra Streisand, Bruce Springsteen, Boz Skaggs, Britney Spears,etc., etc. and Bill Stone). If I'm not sure of something, I'll say it. If I'm assuming something, I'll say that. I will endeavor to be as accurate as my resources allow.
• D -- I will usually use the resources I have on hand which are considerable.
• E -- I will give credit where credit is due. I WILL NOT STEAL AN OTHERS WORK! After all, that's what research is, an effort to combine resources to provide an interested audience with a new source of 'old' history. 
• F -- Along the same line, if my work is cited I would hope to be used as a reference. I will be persuing a copyright and the blog will be notified as such. I will be using many of my personal photographs and those will be watermarked and/or written on as my collection.
• G --
• HISTORIC PHOTOS and Postcards. Everybodies favorites. It would be difficult if not at times impossible to obtain permission to use these valuable references. It is my, possibly mistaken, understanding that these are usually considered 'Public Domain'. Especially in the digital cyberspace of the time, many of the historic images are readily available. I WILL MAKE KNOWN WHAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON THE IMAGE and who has the rights if known.  
• I -- If I am using 'interview' sources, hear say etc, I will make note of that. A 'memory' can be very interesting but OFTEN quite undependable when recording history. It is a tool that can be used to guide historic interpretation but is 'sand through the hourglass'
