Hi Vance,
Thanks again for the kind words of support. I have been working on my new collection of ornaments for a long time and putting off special projects like the Rawson section. I need to thank a bunch of the site readers for their help on the new section....Danny, Pat, Tod, Robare, Jeff, Kent, Gary and a long list of others! It seems if I turn over one stone, a bunch of new information is revealed with the help of others with valuable informaton. If anyone else has information about Rawson and Evans, please let me know!
Okay, enough of that.
Some people have mentioned sending in a few dollars to help support the site. Right now, I think we need to help Tod Swormstedt at the American Sign Musueum. He has been SO helpful to this site in general and me specifically over the years. The museum needs funds to help purchase the larger Rawson & Evans pieces from Rick Glawson's shop. They have raised about $5000 and need another $7000.
I received a letter in my AMAL yesterday which has a donor card. You can surely just go to their site and find the same information.
So, here we are talking about Rawson and Evans and we now have a chance to make certain a grouping of their work ends up in the new museum. At the same time, a packet is headed this way FROM the museum that contains a wealth of additional information about Rawson & Evans. Are the stars aligned right now....or what?
If you had ever considered sending in money to a worthwhile cause, I'd say now is the time to send it to them.
