My daughters had their semi black belt ceremony yesterday at 1:00pm and
at 3:00pm (two daughters in two different Tae Kwan Do groups due to age
difference). by the time we got done and went to the museum, they said
that every display had been removed and taken away. I asked about the
family from Iowa or Idaho, and they told me they didn't know anything
about it.


Hi Bryan,

Well, since I'm just receiving this message now, you know the answer. The
displays were taken down around 2PM, for reasons that I still don't fully
understand. Margy (if you're reading this) next year you might keep the
event going longer -- I mean, heck, as long as we were there, you might as
well make us work till, say, 3 PM?
First one, keep it simple, try to avoid IAD push in the afternoon
(didn't make it). We will be looking at the schedule for the next one
very carefully. I think everyone thinks longer will be better.

our anonymity. Oh well -- to most of the museum workers and volunteers
I'm sure we were just a "bunch of little planes out in the parking lot."

No, to all of the museum workers and volunteers the "little planes" were
the action of the year. Most of senior management from downtown came to
the event (and loved it) and I think ALL of the security staff took
their breaks on the ramp. We usually had at least 4 security officers
on the ramp, but only 2 were out there officially! A good number of the
"volunteers" were employees from other divisions who were not getting
comp time! This event was truly everyone pitching in.

But, with any luck, we *may* have provided a little enlightenment to a few
visitors!

I think we did!

Margy

Dang, Bryan, I wish we could have met "in the flesh"... Next time!

Blue skies!
