Hi Don,

…. I've just confirmed with Scott Burnett that we will be moving ahead photographing the collection of ceramics in the LRC entryway. We will do a co-operative teaching unit and produce the photos necessary for Emily to use for the online gallery as well as insurance needs for the assets. We should begin in the middle of Spring 07! Let me know if you have questions/concerns.

 

Regards,

Robbin Baker
