Not always, but it helps. Good dad.

My kids (and wife) groaned whenever I stopped to read historical markers. But eventually they became deeply interested in history.

Early on, I realized my father had always stopped to read and ponder historical markers as well.

Historical context by members here at DU is one of the things I most appreciate about your terrific endeavor.

Thank you, as always, for all your teams' work!
