List:

    One the most interesting artifacts, I can remember. I was working for
Michigan Historical Museum. It was a bottle of water taken from the stream
that ran through Andersonville Prison during the Civil War.  Do you remember
that Rudy?

David,

I don't remember a whole lot from experiences when I was a kid.  I didn't
really feel like I started visiting them until I was in college, so my
answer may not be what you are looking for.  However, I would have to say
that going through the Holocaust Museum was something I will never forget.
It was truly an emotional experience.
