“I remember taking a field trip to the Rotch-Jones-Duff House. This visit lit a spark of interest that would lead me back to the RJD repeatedly throughout the years. Now that I have a family, we have decided to become museum members. My children explore the rose garden in summer. We come back in the fall to see the grounds lit up with jack-o-lanterns. The house is never more magnificent than in the winter, dressed for Christmas. The RJD was there for me when I first began to discover the magic in this city and it was there for me and my young family before, and during, the Pandemic. I may not always have the means to give, but while I do, I will choose to spend money on a real diamond in our local community.”
