Welcome to the World of Wiley Purkey

Life, we spend a lot of time using it up like it will never end. And later it all seems to pass by so fast, and we forget where we have been, and what we have done. So in an attempt to record what I have done with the time already spent, I began to record My Resume. I also maintain a Personal Blog.

Of course, like everybody else these days, I'm also on Facebook and Twitter.

Purkeys Toy Trains opened in 2000. It was the result of a lifetime of appreciation of toy trains, a dream realized.

Gardening - Since 1980 I have grown much of my own food. I also grow and sell Orchids, Bromeliads, Epiphyllums, Cacti, and other succulents. This turned into another business, Harvest Farm Gardens, in 2008

History is a great interest of mine. Living in such a historic area is something that becomes part of you, and as you grow older, you become part of the history, you can't escape it. So instead of trying to escape it, I write about it.

Architecture and Design - If I could begin again, I definately would have become an architect. To me, the greatest architect the world has ever seen is Frank Lloyd Wright. As far as design, The Arts & Crafts Movement, and all of the characters in it continue to interest me.

Music - From the Beatles to Tangerine Dream, every life has a soundtrack, this is mine. I have written reviews of many of the CDs of Tangerine Dream. Before you buy any of their music, you should read my Tangerine Dream Disc Reviews.
