H S Contino

H. S. Contino acquired her appreciation for history and historical objects from her grandfather, who owned a small antiques shop in New England. She has fond memories of visiting his store and having him tell her the stories behind the many items on display. A self-proclaimed "nomad," Contino has lived in numerous parts of the country including the desert, both the east and west coasts, and the southern states. By living in such different areas, she has gained an appreciation for the diversity of both the people and the land.
