Robert Thorpe, born in London in 1950, living in Esposende, Portugal. I have a degree in English from Peterhouse, Cambridge. For many years I worked as a teacher of the language, in Mâcon, France (at a lycée agricole); Mondovì, Italy; Beckenham, England; and finally in various locations in Portugal, where my wife is a primary school teacher. I can translate from the relevant languages as well as from German and Latin.
I came across Citizendium when I looked in Wikipedia for the latter's history. There, I did mainly copyediting, but also created a number of articles, including List of artworks known in English by a foreign title, which is virtually a solo effort. I am a nocturnal; and survived cancer in 2003: it did kill my voice, but then I am a Harpo Marx fan.
