I figured, but it needed to be mentioned. But yeah; because local public history orgs are cash-strapped, they like to economize where they can - if they're putting a guy on payroll, they're going to favor the one who can do half a dozen other things in addition to what they're officially paying him for, because that makes them less dependent on volunteers or grants.

And, since I suppose people might be wondering, I know this because my mother (Masters in History, herself) was one of the founding lights of the organization that owns and keeps up the local civil war battlefield, back when it was put together in the early nineties, and has probably had at least a passing part in most of what's happened since then in the field in the area.

And, since she's the Mama, she can tell me, 'Go do this, you've volunteered'. Which leads to picking things up by osmosis.
