My wife just found out she has Saturday off and would like to join the tour if possible.

Thanks,

Keith,

At this point, I'm not exactly sure how many people we have coming, but I don't think there should be any problem.

See you on Saturday.

Jim,
The tour was wonderful. The pieces from Winterthur were outstanding and hopefully inspiring to all who attended.
A special thank to Steven Nowak, Director of Exhibitions, for allowing the group a close up look at the furniture pieces that the Teledo Museum owns. He was gracious enough to open the pieces, take out drawers, etc., to let us see the inside construction of many pieces.
And , also a great thanks to you Jim for organizing the event. It went very smoothly and made for an enjoyable day.

Ed,

I am glad that you enjoyed yourself and hope that all that attended enjoyed themselves, too.  It really didn't take much effort to arrange it, the people at the Toledo Museum of Art took care of all of the details.  I got the impression that Steve Nowak and the docents that led the groups genuinely enjoyed themselves, too.

Jim
