HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE PART OF PHILADELPHIA HISTORY? Well, maybe not exactly Philadelphia history, but certainly Clark DeLeon history. This summer I'm going to be a tour guide at Independence National Historical Park. It's a 75 minute walking tour around the sights and sounds of old Philadelphia called Franklin's Footsteps and I've been training to give these tours for the last couple of weeks. And look who I got to show me around. Who better than Ralph Archbald, Philadelphia's most beloved Ben Franklin (I hate to use the word "impersonator" because Ralph is really a Ben Franklin "inhabitor.") ?

I invite you to be part of my first guided tours this weekend starting at noon and 2 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday beginning at the Sightseeing Tour Kiosk on the north end of the Independence Visitor Center at 6th and Market. Streets. It's a private company offering the tours, which cost $14 for adults, $12 for seniors and $10 for children (4-12 years) Yeah, I'm doing it to make some money, but you know what -- it's a perfect fit. I don't have to tell you how much I love Philadelphia. I'm really going to enjoy doing this.

So help a brother out, would you? Contact phillytour.com or call 215-389-TOUR and let them know you want to be part of the inaugural Clark DeLeon walking tours in Ben Franklin's footsteps. It would be great to see some familiar faces, even if we've never met. I'll post my schedule during the summer so you can tell out-of-town friends, neighbors and family. Tell'em Clark not only talks the talk, but he walks the walk. After all, look who I have as a coach.
