When I first visited, I was surprised to see that all the volunteers were about half the age I expected! You can see some of them on the YouTube channel [1].&lt;p&gt;[0] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.telcomhistory.org&amp;#x2F;connections-museum-seattle&amp;#x2F;&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;www.telcomhistory.org&amp;#x2F;connections-museum-seattle&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;p&gt;[1] &lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtube.com&amp;#x2F;@ConnectionsMuseum&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;youtube.com&amp;#x2F;@ConnectionsMuseum&lt;/a&gt;</text></comment>
