John…….In October 1998 on my first day working in the Museum, you made me feel so welcome. You took a lot of time showing me around and teaching me what I needed to know. I do not remember who else worked that day, but I’ll never forget the kindness you showed to me. You’ve been a good friend ever since…..R.I.P…….Lew Herold
