After seven grueling months of training — actually it was really fun and educational, I am now officially a Docent at the Smithsonian’s National Air & Space Museum. Lee Boyd was an exceptional mentor, and Larisa Epatko really helped me out as I was polishing up my tours. I’m now qualified to give tours at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles Airport and to “commemorate [the artifacts], educate and inspire [the visitors]”. The museum is really fantastic, and I’m quite proud to be associated with such a prestigious institution, and a great team of volunteers.
