Life, Family and Friends
I have a new account on Facebook:
My parents have a large number of antiques for sale on
.
They specialize in collector's glass, scientific instruments, books, porcelain,
silver and other items. They have especially large holdings of Havilland
Limoges, W. H. Grindley, Bavaria, R.S. Prussia, Stueben, Hutschenreuther, and
Syracuse China.
Also on the family front, here is a home page for my
brother's Veterinary Clinic, Ledgewood
Equine Veterinary Clinic.
Links to some other important people are on my Friends and
Family Page.

After The Soviet Union. This is my Russia book, which covers life in more than 25 regions across the country from the Baltic Sea to Moscow and the Pacific Rim. I also have additional text covering Ukraine, Uzbekistan and the Baltic republics. The preview includes a map, samples from each chapter, original photography and a table of contents. It will be expanded in the months to come.
Recent publications include an April 2007 and a May 2003 article in the Foreign Service Journal.
Other writing can be found on my Writing Page.

About This Page
This page and the domain name
trachtenberg.org dates back to 1997. I have continued to add more material as ideas for this page
have developed,
especially the travel, photography and hobby sections. I am continuing to
expand a Web-based photography portfolio
that has hundreds of photos plus
narratives. The first 100 prints were added August-September, 1998 and the
site has continued to grow since then.
