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.

    What a hoot. Truly a memorable day for the couples as well. Did you tell any Rosy fish stories at Seafood Unlimited?

    It was a wonderful afternoon! Such a spirited group of visitors and so interested in everything Rosenbach! I hope we will see their faces at some of our other events.

    No Chris, we left them to enjoy their dinner(s) and reflect on the remarkable objects they had just seen! :)
