Jeff Guinn Revealed

Q. What is your motto or maxim? A. If you're bored, you have no one to blame but yourself. Q. If you could meet any historical character, who would it be and what would you say to him or her? A. I'd like to know what Lee was really thinking prior to Pickett's Charge at Gettysburg. How could such a brilliant man make such a terrible decision? Q. If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you choose to be? A. Tough question - I'm always happy being with my wife and two grown sons, but I aalso love being out on the road in my car, driving somewhere to interview someone about whatever is the subject of my current book project. Q. If you could acquire any talent, what would it be? A. My secret dream would be to play in a rock band, but I have absolutely no musical talent. I can't even hum on key. Q. How would you describe perfect happiness? A. It's never happened in my lifetime, and probably never will, but I think I would personally get as close to perfect happiness as is possible for me if the San Francisco Giants ever won the World Series. I've been waiting since I fell in love with baseball in 1958. Learn more about Jeff Guinn
