Hello All!
        I was recently directed to this list by a friend.  I am presently
completing my masters in "Industrial Museology" (well that's Chico's title
anyway!). I have been a restorer of transportation vehicles for many
years, and am the volunteer Director of Restoration at the Portola
Railroad Museum. I'm in northern California.  My first glance around the
list messages makes me think it will be one of my daily stops, lots of
good information swapping and ethics questions and an obvious passion for
caring for the 'stuff' with which we have been entrusted.
Sincerely,
David Dewey
