We'll be back at the museum before long, so be sure to watch for the next episode!

I really like these reports. Its like our own local history TV. Keep up the good work Pat.

Glad to hear someone enjoys this stuff as much as I do.

(Here's an interesting behind-the-scenes fun fact: Pat doesn't use note cards or look at a book or do an hour of research before he gives these reports — spitting out dates, names and places with ease — he just shakes his head, takes a moment to let his thoughts clear, and bam! just does it. In that brief pause before he starts, you can almost see him work through the drawers of his mind, pulling out the needed files. Very cool stuff. I love history.)

This is a neat feature of this site, but as far as a news site, this is pretty lacking. It's just a bunch of stories stolen, although attributed, from other news organizations.
