Jeff,
Look into Baltimore-based Atlantic Van Lines.  They are very good at fine
arts shipping and are big supporters of the museum profession.  Contact
them at 410/368-4008.  Contact persons are Jim Ikena, Chris Sade, or
Ellsworth Lank, all good people and visible supporters at museum
conferences.

I hope no one laughs, but you might also check into McCollisters, an agent
for United Van Lines.  They have been quite visible lately, being the line
hauling (we hope) the Russian Romanoff collection from the Corcoran Museum.
They are based in New Jersey.  They are highly reputable and there is a
good reason why they were contracted to carry the Romanoff collection.
They are one of the best in the business when it comes to fine arts
shipping.

Phone no. is 1-800/257-9595 or 609/386-0600

Cheers,
HBC
