About Me

Jim Granter
Retired teacher
I got this web site as a 65th birthday present from my daughter Beth. Today is day one and hopefully I’ll add appropriate stuff to this page and the site in general in future weeks. It will focus on my interests in literature (hence the My Library Thing), Americana, photography, Asperger’s syndrome and my family history.
