It's 1776 you uncultured fool!

I love American History. I love reading about it and learning new things (which is good because I've chosen to be a history teacher!). Last summer I was the assistant costume designer for Utah Festival Opera's production of 1776. In preparation, I read David McCullough's book 1776. I loved it! He is such a great author. It was a really good read and not overly-burdened with scholarly prose. Well, about a week ago, my mom told me that he is coming to Salt Lake to speak at a special event for Utah Teachers and she e-mailed the school district about getting some tickets. Guess what??? She got them. I am now the proud holder of two tickets to hear David McCullough speak at the Salt Lake Tabernacle next Saturday. I am really excited about this, even if I do have to sit on what I think are some of the most uncomfortable benches in the world!
