Back to work day. At 10 I set up the auditorium for a First Monday Book Talk. The speaker was Prof. Ran Abramitzky, talking about his book, Streets of Gold, research into the facts of the immigrant experience in America. Quite an interesting talk. I recorded it on my laptop and in the evening finished editing the video.
Then I headed out to FOPAL where I spent 2 hours setting up my section for the coming sale weekend. Back home by 3, had a quiet sit and a nap until supper time. Bumped into Craig and Edie in the hall and had dinner with those two and the Beelers and Florrie. Talk about the lecture in the morning led to everyone comparing their ancestors’ immigrant experiences.
