 Introduction - 1Mb .wav fileDr. Michael Wells is currently Associate Dean of Continuing Education at Cleveland State University, where he also serves as an adjunct assistant professor in the History and General Administration Departments and the Urban Studies Department. His interest in American history - a "lifetime passion" - led him to acquire a Ph.D. in that field from Ohio State University and to become a founding member of the Sacred Landmarks Research Group. His research and writings about sacred landmarks and ecclesiastical history he says, "stems from the appeal of that which is antique, romantic, hierarchical, ceremonial, and universal." Wells has been appointed by the Governor to the Ohio Historic Site Preservation Advisory Board and will soon serve as board chairperson.
