People were doing double-takes in the exhibit hall as Ben Franklin himself was strolling around. I wonder what he thought of all the displays and events—just a few blocks from Independence Hall. I suspect that most teachers are abiding by his advice in Poor Richard’s Almanack: “early to bed and early to rise…” considering that the sessions start at 8:00 AM with standing-room-only audiences.
Franklin started out as a printer. He must be marveling at the electronic media that are on display.
Perhaps we’ll see some other famous Philadelphians as we walk around?
