Here is the avatar springs coronet (A.K.A. Melissa Rosengard, costco photo contest winner and former head of the Western Museums Association ) presenting LIVE at the WMA Conference in Anchorage, AK. So far this has been a great show! Thanks, Melissa, for turning us on to The Institute for the Future . ..the Palinicity is scary up here in Alaska, though. I feel as if I am in a bunker, in-the-thick behind enemy lines amidst the culture wars. I don't blame Alaskans, per se , more Sarah Palin's willingness to run as a vice president of the United States.
