Candace:
Thanks for handling all this business with the fraktur exhibit and this
World War II panel discussion with great professionalism.
Isn't it simply amazing that people will fight for freedom and "rights"
but are not in favor of equal rights for all citizens? *These words
spoken as I slink toward the back of the bus*
