Hello Everyone,
My name is Dallen Timothy (yes Timothy is the last name), and I am a professor at Arizona State University. I have spent the past 15 years researching borders, their locations, their demarcation, etc., and have loved every minute of it. Thanks to Brendan Whyte, I was introduced to this discussion group--full of people who are interesting in borders. My word, until now, I thought I was the only border fanatic in the world!!! It's great to see so many people involved in sharing their experiences, photos, and maps. I've spent a few hours reading through the archived messages. These are the same kinds of questions I've been wanting to ask and answer, but haven't yet found anybody who is interested in borders the way I am. So, in short, I'm thrilled to become a discussant in the group. I have hundreds of great border photos that I would be pleased to share with the group, and at least as many interesting stories to tell. In fact I have spent the past two months working on African, European, and North American borders--all on the government's expense!!! Is there any better way?
I'll send some of my more interesting photos along in the next few days.
Cheers,
Dallen Timothy
