Does anyone have an "exhibition plan" that they would be willing to
share. I am looking for some sort of planning document that will give me
ideas on how to write and develop a plan to help me to prepare an RFP
for Exhibit Design services.
Thanks,

Well, not to get too far off topic. I don't think my comments are
tainted by
being a future dead white man, but part of the glory of many of those
named
achievements is where they came from. How many, especially the
Americans, were
either an orphan and/or from a very, very, poor family, or was the
child of an
orphan and/or very poor family.
