I remember telling the group at my first RS-1 that what grounded me in history was that I was an Iowa farm girl. Whoever was leading tried to argue with me and I argued that they knew nothing about electricity. (My farmer father had spent evenings wiring houses and as kids my brother and I often went with him.) My grounding in history has never changed, even as much as most of my other thinking did in response to that event.

The Friday evening conversation was 1) full name and one thing that grounds in history (I remember not understanding exactly what that meant.) 2) First name and book. 3) First name and movie. 4 ) First name and one pressing concern.
