I am a California resident and degreed construction manager and historian (Texas A&M University), with a lifelong interest in the history of a) railroading in the United States, b) Alaska and California (the latter being my present home), and c) the Spanish Catholic mission system (my main interest in participating here; I have personally visited each of the 21 mission sites, and have written about several of them extensively in an encyclopedic context).
Where Robert lives it is approximately: 20:59
