[Thursday] Steam Up

[Randall Snow]

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their parts in what was a
great day for all!  There are of course all of the tasks that we talked
about in the meetings and all, but I also noticed little things that people
knew to do instinctively, and those things are particularly helpful.  As
noted in another message from Terry, it looks like we had around 800
admissions.  At one point the parking field was full and we had to put a
few cars down in the front lot.  Thankfully the early crowd started to
leave and open up spots for new visitors.  I'd say that gives us a sense of
capacity.

I did hear lots of positive comments from people, and not a single negative
one.  I spoke to one visitor who absolutely loved the presentations, and I
was happy to see them so well attended.  We did restore some functionality
to the PA system on Friday, but I don't know if it was used or not, as I
never heard any announcements. Another visitor said that it was already
obvious there was "a changing tide" or something of that nature there at
the museum.  I don't know what he might have been referring to as I don't
think we've changed too much just yet, but perhaps this in my own inside
perspective blinding me.  It was a positive thing in any case.  I also
spoke briefly to Gene Valicenti who said that he had plugged us twice on
his morning radio show on Friday.  Any way you slice it, it was a great
day, and again, I thank you all.

We've had some good feedback here, but let's plan for a wrap-up meeting on
Thursday so I can take some notes and hear more about what worked well, or
what we could improve for next year.  Between the binder that Lou had
created, and notes from Suzy, Tim, Steve the food guy, and everyone, we're
keeping a pretty good record of instructions and supplies.  I'd just like
to add to that as our foundation for next year.
