I never told you this story when I first read your post on David McCullough but here it isl
A couple years ago, my son was working in Center City Philadelphia in Jacobs Piano store when David McCullough and his wife walked in and purchased a Steinway from my son. I don't know who was more excited. Anyway, my son was able to set up a long distance delivery for him. He sent a lovely "client source report" about the experience, thanking my son for his gracious attention. Needless to say I framed the report and will always treasure it.
Thought you might enjoy this comment, Thank you for your always interesting blogs

It was a magical evening, Carolann, and my mom was so happy which, in turn, made me happy.

Mr. McCullough is an extraordinary man, author, historian, narrator and oh, so much more! So endearing about his love affair with his wife. Such a gifted human being.

My mother was a teacher as well, Pat, for 20 years. I have great respect for them, particularly the ones who ignite passion, creativity and wonder in young students. I am so happy for your son - what a marvelous choice! And I am so glad you enjoyed my article about the incredible David McCullough.

What an exciting experience for you and your mom and thank you so much for capturing it so eloquently in words, so that we could feel like we were right there too hearing the great historian speak. I especially loved his quote about teachers and am proud to say that my son has chosen the profession and is now sharing his love of history with his students.

He seems younger than we do, Penelope! Always moving about, thinking and being so sweet and interested in what you have to say. Extraordinary.
