Terry Hamburg - Beverly Stone
I studied to be a history professor until seductive counterculture sirens lured my ship astray. Eventually, I wanted to re-join the mainstream but not one that ran through a university. So, what to do with a briefcase of liberal arts degrees? Drive a taxi or sell antiques. I have a lousy sense of direction. Today, I'm a docent, write a monthly column for Northeastern Antiques and Art Journal, and conduct antiques appraisal clinics. My book, Grand Entrances--a celebration of artistic/whimsical San Francisco storefronts--is published by Penguin-Putnam. I'm a regular contributor on current topics for a variety of websites.
