He did graduate studies in history and has published numerous legal and historical articles and books, his proudest work being a history of the little-known pre-World War I creation of the kingdom of Albania, which postponed the world war for a year. Although he made his career among what he calls "the teeming multitudes of rogues, idlers and wastrels" in the legal profession, he was always a frustrated amateur historian. He served two terms on the Tennessee Historical Commission and cofounded Memphis Heritage, the local historical preservation organization. A lifelong animal lover, he is a past president of the Memphis Humane Society. An ardent Anglophile, he is also a cofounder of the Dickens-inspired Pickwick Club & Gastronomic Society and permanent Corresponding Carbuncle of the local Sherlock Holmes "Giant Rats of Sumatra" scion society.weniger sehen
