Fathers Day at Tuckahoe

I had the lovely experience of being invited by Tuckahoe Plantation, the boyhood home of Thomas Jefferson, to portray him at this year's fathers day celebration. By interacting and talking to guests while waiting for their house tours, I was able to share how fatherhood impacted Jefferson as a son who lost his own father at an early age, as a cousin to children who not only lost a father but gained a surrogate through his own, as well as his own experiences being a father.
