It was a busy day today, leading tours and backing up other tours. My 2:00 was a motor coach. Very nice group from Wisconsin…had 50 folks…not easy but I was ready for them 👍
Never know who you will run into. Former Governor of NC, Jim Hunt and his wife, Carolyn. They were part of a river cruise up the Hudson. Just way cool!
Looking directly into sun..squint
I LOVE giving tours, answering questions, recommending books. Got nice applause after tours today. I am getting better.
But it is SO HARD to cover what I want to say in 1 hour. I need at least 1 week. 😊
Later this evening I had the pleasure of meeting 3 couples staying at the motel. All in their 80s and meet annually for a reunion. From Boston, Cape Cod, and DC. They were all sitting in the lobby, drinking wine, so ,of course, I wandered over and said, this looks like a group I need get to know. No shyness here. They invited me to join them, shared their wine and we had a delightful discussion of FDR, WWII, Japan, George Marshall, Truman, Wallace, Byrnes, etc. We will gather again tomorrow after ER’s birthday party to enjoy more wine and conversations..The Children’s Hour, 🍸

I am confident you completely deserved the applause! Is there a question or two which you get asked repeatedly?

The mark of a good, professional Interpretive Ranger (in your case, volunteer) — the ability to get all the salient points delivered in a friendly, informative hour while keeping everyone’s full attention. You’re getting there!!

I am certainly getting better. It is the 1 hour that makes it so hard. FDR legacy is long and significant…like 12 years as Pres not even counting the personal saga2
