US Author Bill Bryson appointed EH commissioner
He comes from Des Moines, Iowa. Somebody had to. You can’t blame him for wanting to be here.
Mr Bryson has been a resident of the country, on and off, for the past two decades. He said: “I am taking this very seriously and I am honoured to be appointed. It’s not every day that an immigrant more or less fresh off the boat gets invited to help run a national institution.”
