what hidden treasures do we have? >>> [log in to unmask] 8/8/02 12:14:57 AM >>> Dear Harriet, Right off the top of my head I can think of two objects in our collection which probably never will be exhibited. One is an old hand-operated (orchard?) duster filled with a white powder that may be DDT. Or how about a collection of archeological artifacts a local doctor dug out of an ancient Native American effigy mound?
