I was raised by a historian who also happened to be an archaeologist. We lived all over the world; I'd never stayed in one place longer than a year and a few months, not until I was married.
[ That's true of both Jamie and Frank, though with Frank it's been longer; thanks to John, she knows now there are at least ten years more to go with Jamie. It's so odd to be the one having her future told to her, instead of the other way around. Her smile dims a bit, but her tone is still light indicating it doesn't hurt quite so bad as it once did. ]
My first husband taught history at Harvard until he passed; history is something that has deep meaning in our family. So please, talk away, all you'd like.
