All the body parts being mentioned in today's round of the Ghoulish request
remind me of a question my then 4 yr. old son posed to me one rainy
Saturday while we were actually visiting MPM.
"Mom, can I be in an exhibit at the museum when I die?"
I was a little nonplussed but took his comments as a tribute to the skills
of our taxidermists and exhibit designers. I hastened to assure him that
the figures on exhibit were sculpted, not mounted, models.
Sorry, Dean et al., not being a native I can't confirm any Santa's Villages
between Milwaukee and Chicago but my husband, who grew up in this area,
recalls that there was a Santa's Village in Wisconsin Dells, a favorite
vacation spot for generations of Midwestern tourists. If your memories
place American Indians anyplace in the vicinity of the Santa's Village,
then it was probably the Dells.
