In the news today is Rowan Garrigan, Mary Beth Garrigan’s daughter.  I know Mary Beth as Director of the National Eagle Center in Wabasha back from when I was on the Board of Directors.  Rowan is a typical teen, tweeting away, but for the duration of the Franklin exhibit at the Minnesota History Center, she is tweeting history — every day she tweets as Ben Franklin.  I wonder what he’d think?  And best of all, she says she loves “doing little experiments with electricity!”  We need an electrical engineer with a brain like hers!
