Let's Connect and Share
I think most folks know my feelings about this Blog. I like it and would love to see it be a place where we can check in and share our thoughts and knowledge about being a museum docent-share resources and ideas for research and make requests.
I just read a great book (found it at my local library) and it would be a great gift for someone who loves 18th century British history, gardening, horticulture and art. The Paper Garden- An Artist begins her Life's Work at 72 by Molly Peacock. It is a biography of Mary Granville Pendarves Delany (1700-1788) a woman who at age 72 created a new art form= mixed media collage. A beautiful book and one that I would consider a fine art printed book. Not for the Kindle . It's on my Christmas list. More info on Powells Books

Request: In reading this book I found that I don't know English titles - which ones are honorary, political, or family or marriage related. Does anyone know a good source book or web site or cheat sheet where I could look up and get definitions of Dukes, Duchesses, Lords, Viscounts etc.

WHYY Fundraiser 10K/3K
I'm planning on running in the WHYY 12K fundraiser run on Saturday, Nov. 12. The race starts at 9:00 a.m., which is, admittedly, quite early in the morning for docents. But assuming it's not pouring rain, it should be fun. If anyone is interested in participating with me, here is the link to the information page:
And if you are not up for the 12K run or the 3K walk, you can always volunteer. I think they'll need people to hand off cups of water to the runners and stuff like that.
