We did the Library of congress tour with Maribeth today March 19 and she was FABULOUS!

Maribeth was very knowledgeable and entertaining! She had answers for everyone’s questions and was very apologetic that it was so cold and that the Supreme Court was closed! And we all knew it was not her fault. It is truely AMAZING how much information is stored in her head! You could tell she could have talked for days! Such a sweet lady… Very aware of everyone’s needs.
