On Saturdsay, May 16, 2009, we attend a lecture at Houston Hall, on the behind scenes of the Constitutional Convention with noted historian Richard Beeman, whose new book, Plain Honest Men: The Making of the American Constitution, offers a full-scale account of the deliberations of the Founding Fathers. Professor Beeman's presentation was followed by an audience Q&A.

Lynn and I were Session Monitors/Volunteers at the 2009 American Association of Museums (AAM) Annual Meeting & Museum Expo, April 30-May 4, 2009, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center here in Philadelphia.

As a result, we received a free pass to see the keynote speaker, Walter Isaacson, President and CEO of The Aspen Institute and #1 New York Times bestselling author.

The AAM conference was a great resource for learning about the role museums play in our society.
