Outside of a classroom, my family took time to meander through historic cites or museums whenever possible. Participation in the Williamsburg minuet class was not optional--for any family members present. Stories about family history were a normal part of bedtime, so that we all knew the stories of Splash the Duck or Pawpaw's yellow roses. The twin ideas that &quot;then is not like now&quot; and &quot;then affects now&quot; were constantly taught, and I honestly think that helped cement people and dates and so many stories into my understanding of &quot;history.&quot; The faster we go through history, the less it matters to us. I think. :)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/761/29732014-01-04T00:21:45ZEric<p>Thanks! I might add that when it comes to learning business history, we only go about as far back as the Titanic...Happy New Year!</p>
