What a great story, and it included other stories, too! Brought back my own tour of Monticello a few years ago when I was working at the little summer opera company down the road in Ash Lawn (Monroe's estate). I loved that area. Thanks for the belated Christmas gift, Truman and Elle!
(I see I'm just one post ahead of Truman at the moment. I'm sure he'll pass me by shortly. Here's a wave and a hug for when we're tied!)
