True, but I just can't believe anyone would really just copy down addresses
and send an identical form letter to every museum without at least reading
a description of the place. I have always believed people who wanted to
work in museums were much more thoughtful than that. Am I naive?

Also, when I was a student, I couldn't afford to go to national conferences.
