Wow Jerald. Just tried to watch the clip but cant get it here (last day of a visit to my aunt and uncle in Germany.) I will watch the clip when i get home tomorrow) Lonn was curator at Winedale, then went to be a curator at the Smithsonian (southwestern history maybe), and he retired from there,. historian friends knew him at UT. It will be fun to see the clip.. thanks for spreading the word. remember how we were always on the lookout for Lonn when we'd all be sitting on the roof of the barn ---stars above and fireflies below... where Lonn had forbidden us to be? Made the roof even more special... On Sep 12, 2014 8:36 PM, "Jerald Head" <[email protected]> wrote:
