This is where it all started... Granted my first experience with historical interpretation ended about 45 seconds after it began, as I completely forgot 3/4ths of narrative! So i frantically looked for the ranger stationed with me who added a bit more to the story, I then walked the group to the next stop in our luminary tour. Afterwards I called my best friend crying because "there was no way in hell I am going to be able to do this job. I can't talk to complete strangers. What the hell was I thinking signing up for this???" Now 4 years later, countless tours under my belt, ranging from 2-70 people in size, at multiple locations, I find myself yearning to be back on the battlefields talking to strangers.... Things have certainly changed! Someday soon I'll be back at it, doing what I love and loving what I do! #thejobhuntcontinues #fredspot #symposium2016 #emergingcivilwar #historyvacay (at Fredericksburg National Cemetery)
