Lisa,

Firstly thank you very much for your kind words about the service and
credibility of Global Museum. It is always a painful education to learn that
a con has taken place and if you are receiving no satisfaction in this
matter then you were quite correct in notifyng the museum profession at
large.

best wishes
Roger
