Richard...

The Museum this person was asking about is the Museum Of American
Repertoire Theatre.  It is located in Mt. Pleasant, IA.   on the grounds of
the Old Threshers Fairgrounds.   Perhaps that is where they got the
_Trestle_term.

If you'd like to direct this person, have them contact my chairperson here,
Dr. Michael Kramme
(cray-me) at >[log in to unmask]<

Michael is on the board of the museum and has been involved with it for
many years.  He can answer most questions.

I am leaving this address as of Sunday, 5/11.
