Hi, Tara! Thought I'd send a quick note to say hello, and find out if you'll be coming to the Historic House workshop in Leavenworth in June. While I'm not 'going' to the workshop, it is just across the Missouri from work and I'd love to get together with you, Max and George at some point. I know the workshop format is intense, but thought perhaps dinner or a drink sometime while everyone is here would work out. I made another major career move in February by resigning from the Truman Library. Hadn't been there quite a year and just knew it was not the place for me. The job was only all right, not very challenging, and the working atmosphere was not at all what I had anticpated last May when I started. The political in- fighting was horrendous and just simply not worth getting sick over...so I lucked into a position with a for-profit firm here in Kansas City - Eisterhold Associates, Inc. Jerry Eisterhold's been creating wonderful exhibits for years - he and the other associates are responsible for the National Civil Rights Museum in Memphis, the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, AL and we're now working with the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Foundation and Southern Poverty Law Center in Montgomery, as well as Old Salem, NC and several other museums across the US. I feel more involved in the museum community now than I have for years. Anyway, hope to see you in June - if you're coming to Leavenworth - it's truly less than 15 minutes away from where I work (N. Kansas City). And, do you have Max and George's email addresses? Thanks!
