When I was very young, my parents would drop me off at the Smithsonian Museum in DC, where I would spend the day. I wandered through the American History, Air and Space and many exhibits. I would often grab lunch across the street at a cafeteria in the basement of the Internal Revenue building. Decades later I was a Net Control Operator at a radio station hosted inside the Smithsonian near Archie Bunkers chair. We provided radio support for the Cherry Blossoms Parade. Sitting behind a glass window at a radio transceiver I was holding my hand over my earpiece listening for a noisy station to check in. A couple walked up to the glass thinking this was an exhibit like the stuffed elephant or Indians in a set. When I moved it scared the heck out of them. Little did I think those many years ago, wandering through the exhibits, that I would if for only a day become a Smithsonian exhibit like Archie Bunkers chair!
