I am posting this for someone who is not on the list.  We have not 
experienced any fires at the Pearce Museum!  I am looking for a 
professional who can perform conservation work on fire-damaged Civil War 
era firearms and reunion medals preferably someone in the state of 
Texas.  Please contact me off-list.

"Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given, and transmitted from the past.  The tradition of all the dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brain of the living."  
Karl Marx, The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte

"History does not refer merely, or even principally, to the past.  On the contrary, the great force of history comes from the fact that we carry it within us, are unconsciously controlled by it in many ways, and history is literally present in all that we do." 
James Baldwin
