Tim and I knew before leaving for NERI that we would have a new experience this year. We would be training and working with a 21-year-old intern. Jessica had just graduated from my alma mater, believe it or not, and was enthusiastic about working with a museum collection.
Jessica was a quick learner and willing to do any assignment we proposed. Her enthusiasm was contagious. We trained her in various aspects of the museum management program, including how to rehouse archeology collections, label history objects, catalog items, package history collections according to archival standards, and accession new collections.

Although I had been hesitant about the idea of working with an intern at first, it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Interacting with Jessica was so interesting, and I learned as much from her as she did from us. Being around someone her age was enlightening.
