It would be a sad day indeed if you decedid to stop the journal entries. They are fascinating to read, as well as inspiring me to keep saving to make the trip over. I live in Canada, so it's not too easy to get over there frequently. I love seeing pictures of the museum, and of Graham in his uniform. He just have been boiling in it though. It shocked the witchcraft community here in Canada as well as in the US. I'm very sorry to hear that you lost some items, but thankfully you were able to salvage some. No one minds the gadgets - it's all part of museum life. Hope to see you next year!-kristen (posted 9:27pm, 30Nov12)
