We have a wonderful group, known locally as the "Preservation Ladies"
for perceived historical reasons.  We meet once a month for lunch and
discussion.  Most are graduates of the EMU HP program, plus a few like
me who did not.  We have become a force to be reckoned with once riled,
and it's great networking with a bunch of people with preservation being
the common thread.  A couple men are on the invite list, but they rarely
come;  it really is just us Ladies.

Subject: Progress of the Ladies


I have read of, and been told tales of, the contributions made by
various Ladies to the beginnings of preservation.  So much of the credit
in the creation myths of preservation are heaped upon the several male
individuals enthroned at certain institutions of learning, collecting
and amusement.  But I rise to acknowledge the contribution made by the
Ladies past and present.  I would not refuse them the credit, nor the
mud, the blood, the beer, nor the colorful technical language.  (Not
that I'm capable of watching my language that
carefully.)

What a thought for the morning?!  To slam together visions of the DAR
and the current Ladies of the NPS!

It feels alright.  I don't think my head will explode.

Back to work.  Let's make history!

(I know Bryan...but I love to say it!)
