It's not jut me then. I finally got so fed up with the yearly variations on "what you leaned before isn't true - but THIS is" that I gave up and went to a hippie crunchy granola college (terms I use with some degree of affection), and studied taxidermy. At least no one could tell me what I had learned before wasn't the "full truth" of museum preparation. If nothing else, going to school in Maine gave me lots of long winter nights, perfect for curling up (metaphorically) with Vlad & company. M Michele Riccio Law Offices of Richard M.
