Greetings,

It sounds like one of those horror stories shared by new employees, taking
over for that person who retired after 30/40 years and finding all the
questionable things.  Like signs and labels taped directly to artifacts.
Or historical photographs pinned to wall displays.  Or finding that the
office furniture pieces are artifacts.

Thank you,

Michael R. <[log in to unmask]>
