Interesting Weekend in the VC

Hi All,

No pictures this time but a few interesting happenings in the Visitor Center. Friday's total sales were almost $300, easily a record day for us. Saturday we had 150 visitors, another record. 

Then, on Sunday, we had two interesting visitors. One woman looked at our name tags and told us about a family friend in Brooklyn named Greenbaum.

 The other was an elderly man who told us that on this day (Feb 19) in 1945 he was going ashore on Iwo Jima. He said it was tough going as it took 5 weeks to clear the Japanese off of 3 miles of island.

Meeting folks like this is what we love about volunteering in the VC.


Love
Sandy & Carl
