Greetings!
Last night 254 people tuned in to hear The Mark Twain House's “Susy,” Grace DiModugno, speak about her work in the museum’s Living History program, and particularly about her subject, the thoughtful and eloquent Olivia Susan Clemens. This was the second installment in our every-two-weeks “Trouble at Home” series, the virtual offspring of our "The Trouble Begins at 5:30" lectures. Thank you again – as Forum members made up a good chunk of the audience – for your attendance, comments, and questions. It’s all still viewable at https://marktwainhouse.org/troubleathomesusy.
Our next event, on Thursday, June 11, at 5;30 p.m. EDT, takes on the tale of Mark’s interest in spiritualism, as I chat with two people who have lectured together extensively on that subject and others: Mallory Howard, our Assistant Curator, who organized an important exhibition here on the subject a few years back; and Jason Scappaticci, a local educator and historian. I’ll post the link when I know it!
Thanks once more,
Steve
