Clara Barton is on my family tree! She is also a descendant of William and Johanna Towne who left England in 1637 and settled in Salem in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Barbara, George, and I had a very special private tour led by Kenneth, the very knowledgeable and enthusiastic director of the Clara Barton Missing Soldiers Office Museum.

After the tour George rushed home to see the daily installment of the Ken Burns' series on the Vietnam War. Barbara and I went across the street to Jaleo's for a delightful lunch of interesting conversation and delicious grilled cheese sandwiches.
Barbara drinking gazpacho!
Our dear friend Marie was supposed to be with us but she couldn't make it. 😞
