This is a picture of Lyn from Ontario taking a photo of two surprise visitors to the embroidery session. These interpreters were hosting a 17^th-century dinner for museum guests. Afterwards they noticed the lights still on in Accomack where we have our sessions, so they stopped in. Anne and Lyn were working late tonight. 

When Lyn arrived yesterday she gave me her feedback survey from the September session (I’ve finally wised up and this time I’ve started handing them out at the beginning of the session instead of mailing them afterwards). One of her wishes was that the participants would have the opportunity to speak to some of the interpreters as modern people and find out how they prepare for their roles, what they think about the period clothing they wear, that sort of thing. Earlier today John Kemp, director of the Colonial Interpretation Program, stopped in on his rounds as weekend manager, and Lyn had the chance to chat with him about some of those very topics. Then, around 7:30, these two interpreters stopped in. It was all a coincidence, but it made me look very on top of things, and it was a fun treat for the embroiderers and the interpreters to get to talk about their very different experiences. 

I have so much to write about, and I think Tricia will be sending some posts in a few weeks too, but for now – the Red Sox are on. Who’ll be tonight’s hero?
