Introduction: "Beyond the Grave"

 My name is Alex Stribling. I was born in San Antonio, Texas but I have lived in Lugoff, South Carolina for almost ten years.
The picture bellow is me on a road-trip last summer. One of my favorite pass-times is planning trips "off the beaten path."

Now I attend the College of Charleston and work as the Secretary of the Russian Club on campus. Along with that, I attend part-time at the Citadel working towards a commission as an officer when I graduate. My program of study at the College of Charleston is Public Health with a minor in Russian Studies. I hope to one day work in the training or clinical fields as a career.

This blog will be detailing my studies in the class "Beyond the Grave," taught by Professor Patrick Harwood. I hope to learn about the studies of genealogy and local historic research, especially that of the categorizations of diseases in the past.
Hopefully, this will be a wonderfully informing semester and blog!
