[QUOTE=JonoBN41;1443440][QUOTE]If they get it set up where you
don't have to pilfer through it or
search to figure out what stuff is and where it came from - I'm there.
Until then, UGs won't go...and I'm betting they aren't really wanted.
I'm sure they'd just say we'd get in the way or break something.

Tom, Mike, and I were at the 2004 General Assembly in Indianapolis and were on the school buses LOADED with undergraduates being taken to IHQ for a nightime tour. To this day I cannot get over the excitement shown by the undergraduates.
There's a coat of arms in the pathway outside the front door and those guys crowded around it, taking pictures with digital cameras and cell phones in the dark. Inside, the place was absolutely packed. I found it hard to move around. They were like kids in a candy shop.
There are lots of exhibits and displays at IHQ - it's just that there's not room enough for everything at the moment. But, again, pictures were being taken constantly. I'm sure the staff was a bit overwhelmed (especially with G.A. going on) but they were courteous, helpful, and answered the many questions fired at them from all directions.
On the ride back to the hotel, the undergrads enthusiastically passed around their camers and cell phones, showing the pics they had just taken.
You're damned right they were interested! It's something I'll never forget!
In ZAX,

Brother Jono is so right of the visit that was set up!
The glee was evident seeing the smiles in their faces! Well, I am sure as well as His and Mine as first timers at IHQ! As I mentioned, our Mecca as it were.
But, in going through it He and I talked about how disappointed in what we saw that was available to see.
Being some a bit of Historians, that was what we were interestred first and fore most.
It was lacking and beleive me, he and I discussed it the rest of the evening!
There has been some discussion about volunteers doing this and I am sure there arensome who will be willing to do it if they are allowed.
There is a need to have it done!
So, History is History Period!
Mike, I am a retailer who is dieing and not a Educational Type.
Rember, I am The Typo King!
