Besides poring over all things Old Glory, the museum staff had a Pi Day pie baking contest (my site advisor Aspen’s Kentucky Derby pie deservingly won,) I looked through more old exhibit catalogues including “It’s Only Rock and Roll” which was curated by Rubin after “Old Glory,” and ate a delicious steak and veggie lunch which the museum provides monthly to staff.
