MISSING CAM WAS FOUND! I had asked Bernie (Dr. Cam) to do upkeep on them when he is in the Valley. The gear is getting worked just like doing a wall. Apparently, it was too crowded for him to fix it in place. The docent that was in there when I noticed it missing had not been told that he had removed it. So it was a false alarm and my faith in humanity has been restored. Sorry about the false alarm.

Todays count was 855 people in 6 hours and over 2,400 people in the last three days. Ran into Whitmore and Gerberding today.

Hey Blitzo,

I think he dyes his hair and waxes his ears. Bullwinkle helped me with photos and I couldn't leave you out. It is a good photo.

Blitzo, He doesn't die his hair, just a stress free lifestyle.

Well Ken, I definitely missed out on the wine, but your exhibit was well worth the journey. I can only imagine the amount of work you (& all who contributed, etc.) went through.

Thanks again for your efforts and the passion displayed!

Wow! Any special reason why there'd be 950 visitors on a Tuesday in August? What has been the daily average?

Perhaps I'd better book a ticket now, to see the exhibit during the FaceLift. :-)

More than Terrific when hard work and planning finally pay off! Now were you entertaining the idea of opening this up for the facelift folks one evening ? Or should we schedule an individual tour during the day ?

Anders,

For some reason the highest days have been on weekdays. The average is about 600-650 a day. If it stays at that rate 90,000 people will see it while it is up.

Ken

P.S. On the way home for work, I checked the location of your Facelift site and it is well away from the rest room. They must have changed the site numbers when they eliminated some of the sites by Rescue.
