I strongly suggest that you attend the Florida Association of Museums annual
meeting, September 7-10, 2003 in Jacksonville. Contact Malinda Horton,
executive director of FAM at 850/222-6028. You also live within one of the
state's largest museum communities. There is a wealth of resources in those
institutions.

Good luck.
