teaching, and engaging with people from all walks of life.

Mruk has been a docent with Explore Buffalo for eight years, focusing on history, especially down at the waterfront, where he teaches guests about the towering grain silos. “I’m a former teacher,” he says. “I taught architecture and computer design classes, so I thought I would be giving a lot of architecture tours. But now I’m down at the waterfront doing tours of Silo City. I like to tell the history through stories, and I like to connect with the people.”

Being Explore Buffalo docents has gifted Mudra, Pollock, and Mruk a new passion that has direct impact on the city and proves that there is always something new to learn—even about your own region. FY
