Just wanted to say thank you to those who have
written so passionately and intelligently to ARLIS-L this past week about the
devastation to Iraq's cultural heritage, especially Lee Sorenson, Kerri
Scannell, Jennifer Brasher, and robert e kelly. And Ruth Thomas too.
And a special thanks to Andras Riedlmayer for summarizing the many pro-active
actions being taken by cultural heritage organizations in the U.S. and around
the world--and for suggesting some things we can do as individuals. In
fact, I was glad to hear from everyone, including those with whom I don't
agree. I am proud that our listserv provides a place in times like
these for our rage and despair. Don't let the shush-shers
win!!
