Hi, Will 3/21/2012
As I was searching for an email with Ottawa in it, I found your email
in the list. It occurred to me that you'd be tickled by this (just
noticed today on Museum-L or Informal Science Education
Network<[log in to unmask]>, can't remember which).

Have a great time in Madison next week!
