True. Now that you mention it, i think to remember a Mr. Baker there
explaining artefacts in the museum to his family ;-)

[... skipping the other 69 socials Fred remembers... ;-)]

Definitely. And everybody has different preferences.  I just meant
to appreciate some of the details that i thought overall where very nicely
done this time, and matching exactly my preferences ;-) Having said this,
the most memorable and enjoyable about socials to me are unique locations,
and there have been of those over the years!
