Exhibit Opening, "A Change of Worlds," 1/28

[Jeffrey Kopp]

Hi. Here's a link to the museum's page on the exhibit.

http://www.historymuse-nw.org/Exhibits.html

It seems almost upon us already, but as it runs three more months, I'll
put a mention of it on the Tenas Wawa page.

Thanks for letting us know about this exhibit!

Regards,

Jeff
