Postscript to Day 3: Monterey Bay

Open Letter to the Monterey Bay Aquarium Director of Volunteers:

You may want to reconsider the placement of one of your volunteers in the bird exhibit. You may know the one. She's loud, obnoxious and rude to both the birds and the visitors. I did not appreciate the unsolicited sharing of her "expertise" or her unwarranted screaming "Shut up!" at the birds.

I have to say I was astonished when I saw the volunteer badge pinned on her chest. I would hope her appointment was a favor to a large donor as I cannot imagine she earned her position on merit.

Other than that uncomfortable encounter in the marshland, I completely enjoyed the Aquarium today. The presenter in the auditorium was especially entertaining and informative.

Thanks for all your hard work in preserving our world,
A Concerned Yet Enlightened Aquarium Visitor

  1. I'm sorry. Did I just read that a volunteer at the BIRD exhibit was telling the birds to Shut up? That's wacky.
