Today's story comes from Robert Rutherford. When Robert's not co-hosting The Narrators San Diego, he works as a museum educator and the digital content developer at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Robert's story was recorded live on 8 September 2015 at Tiger!Tiger! Tavern in San Diego, California. The theme of the evening was "Firsts." Our theme music is by our friend Whalehawk (aka the Grammy-nominated musician Jake Sanders).
