About Gene Kizer
creator of this web site
 

At middle age I decided to finish my college degree, which I had started 25 years earlier. I love history and literature and threw myself into it, graduating magna cum laude from the College of Charleston in 2000 with an A.B. Degree in History.

 

I did a bachelor's essay for History Departmental Honors entitled Economic Arguments and Justifications for Southern Secession, 1850s to 1861. I won the Outstanding Student Award for the College of Charleston History Department in 2000 as well as History Departmental Honors, and the year before won the American History Award sponsored by the Rebecca Motte Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. I have 15 hours toward a masters in English from the University of Charleston.

 

I am divorced. I have two GREAT boys from a previous marriage, Trey and Travis, 22 and 17, who are exactly like me (love the South, love sports, especially running). The three of us have a long string of Cooper River Bridge Runs (10K, 6.2 miles) to our credit and this year (2010) we ran our 15th in a row! I started Travis when he was two-years-old and registered as an official runner on my shoulders the whole way. We were featured in the 2005 Bridge Run magazine for our then 10-in-a-row streak. Even though I run four or five times a week, BOTH boys have been beating me for years in the Bridge Run and I'm damn proud of it!

 

I am pursuing the production of video for DVDs on fascinating topics of Southern history and literature. If you have an interesting lecture or music program you have made, please let me know because I might be able to turn it into a DVD that will benefit lovers of Southern history all over the world. I can not pay a royalty, but if you want to get your talk or program produced and on DVD, please write and let's discuss it.

 

The best way to contact me is by e-mail at BonnieBlueStaff@comcast.net. My mailing address is
P.O. Box 13012, Charleston, S.C. 29422-3012.

And please visit my real estate website, www.CharlestonSaltwaterRealty.com, and World History 101 and 102, which I produced with distinguished professor
Dr. Clark G. Reynolds. It's an outstanding 80 DVD set, two actual college classes covering prehistory to present: www.WorldHistory101-102.com.

 

Hope to hear from you soon!
