Sounds like a find day at work! Your mention of the woman making the Civil War era ballgown gave me the idea that perhaps it was the Little House on the Prairie Dress and Pinafore that Mom made you when you were 3 that set you on a path to costuming glory.
I'm glad you weren't affected by the flash floods. In one report I read it said there were 9 feet of water covering Washington Blvd. It also mentioned the Highland Park is one of the highest parts of Pittsburgh, which came as a surprise to me, I guess because I spent most of my time at the top of it (walking around the reservoir, etc.)
