A Rosenbach First?

Yesterday Barbara Zimmerman and I were on duty, and Barbara took the 4 o'clock "Romance at the Rosenbach" tour. The group was made up of two couples who had come separately and a woman and two friends she was introducing to the Rosenbach -- seven in all.

When Barbara returned them to the lobby after their romance tour, the group as a whole decided they now wanted a regular house tour. Even omitting everything Barbara had already said, I spent an hour in the house with them. By the end Theresa was standing around with the keys so she could lock up.

I have never encountered such stamina in a disparate group of museum goers. Has anyone else had an experience at all like this?

P.S. After I finished, Barbara and I were going to Seafood Unlimited, and the two couples tagged along and had their dinner there.

Romance Group- How did they Meet?

Had a great question today from a visitor - Maybe someone from the Romance Group can answer- I was showing the display case in the orientation room of the photos of A.S.W. Rosenbach and C . Price- and the gentleman asked " How and when did they first meet. Does anyone know?. Was she a business associate, client or just a good friend from Cape May - Strathmere area? It really took me by surprise - but it is such a basic question when you talk about couples. Isn't that the story and question you ask your friends- How did you meet?

If we don't know? Let's make up some stories and post here. Use your romantic imagination and knowledge of Rosy and his interests and come up with a great story. Romance group- a question- approximately how far back 1920's. Looking forward to reading your posts.
