Mike,

Your opinion of the 'maintenance' industry is higher than mine... I was 
thinking more like 20 years behind the curve.

On another front... lately every fairly new conservator we have met in 
the field has been telling us that they intend to go into another career 
as quickly as they can figure it out. They do not all know each other 
and they do not all come from the same school.
