This Week:

  • In MUST205, we talked about how to tell stories with objects, and how to evaluate objects for their suitabiility for display.
  • I did some NAGPRA work with one of the tribes we’ve worked with, and I’m very hopeful that we’ve worked out a good plan for transfer.
  • It was our kiddos first day of school on Thursday, and they both dove right back in to school. I’m so proud of both of them.
  • I guess-lectured in Hartwick’s Museum Education class, and talked about the history of educational programs at the Museum (at least as I understand it!)
  • I continued to work on installing “Memorializing the Underground Railroad”, and I hope to have all of the cases ready by early next week.
  • On labor day, we went fishing at Wilber Lake. It was messy, but fun, and reminded me of fishing with my dad and my great aunt Carol up at Okoboji when I was little.
