Got to the Barnegat Recreation Center about 8:30, plenty early enough to set up for the Dionne Quint program. The handyman, Rick, set up the room with the projector and tables and I asked him to add two tables in the front so I could set out my artifacts.
Geez, I have a lot of them. I had brought tablecloths and plate holders, so I could make a tasteful display and it looked good. After a little trepidation at the beginning--they couldn't get the disc with pictures to advance--Rick saved the day and I got rolling.
The audience, all elderly and about 90 percent women, were very attentive and appreciative. It was fun to again go through the sad saga of the quints and I was glad the essential points came back to me (considering I hadn't boned up very well beforehand. Said my goodbyes and left.
My home phone is still not recording messages and I got a cell call from Aline on the way to Barnegat. Dear friend, she just called to wish me luck. We also made a date for lunch tomorrow--why waste a call?
Rehearsal last night, which went well. Tonight, Chris (my "sister") and I have a night off, as we're not in the segment being gone over.
