Ouch! That has got to be disheartening. I hope no one got angry or too upset.


I handled some of those cases Saturday.  People were a little
confused, but not angry.  I explained that the reporter misunderstood,
and had done the interview before we ever set up the display so he
didn't see it, and they were mollified.

Having worked with a few news outlets local to me and seeing how they can mangle the most simple facts I think it is a great article. The only negatives would be the reference to “unwashed masses” and a lack of a URL for your website. Both minor points to try to improve for next time and only one can you really do much about. The bulk of the article is positive, lighthearted and has what I hope is accurate information for the museum display. They don’t get much better, well done.

It doesn’t. Last weekend was the first one being open since the article came out, and I heard all weekend we were having to explain to people why stuff mentioned in the article was not actually on display. The public was very confused.

Well, I'm a little disappointed. Much of what is said in the article is not what
I said in the interview. Oh well. Below is the link and the article should be in
print in today's Chronicle in the "96 Hours" section.
