Ouch!!
Clive, what you say about the Borden musuem and it's curator is correct. The alternative is a museum runs by an "artist/historian" with a CBC/revisionist bent. This sentiment dovetails with the Dave Thompson "save medals from collectors" types. Just, to state the obvious, it is collectors, not museums, that study, collect and preserve artifacts. The alternative is professional 'museum-ologists' (a bad thing) or now, high school students. I'll go with the private collector.
