That's interesting, given that they put on a great show for us attending
AAM this year. I thought their Civil War exhibit subject matter was well
interpreed, tasteful, and inclusive.  The gift shop was tops.  I was very
impressed at their effort to do a good job for us.  Sorry about the bad
news.  I hope they pull themselves out of the hole

Cheers,
HBC
