Thank you for your reply. I hoped that is what you were getting at. That Historical Society that I visited today had so much stuff that isn’t online. They were not even sure what all they had in their collections.

What I didn’t say in the Blog Post, is the hour’s worth of conversation that I had with two gentlemen (current and past president) while I was there. It’s those conversations that are important. I tried to encourage them to continue with a couple of the issues that they are currently facing. I do know that if I get a call from them on a project, I’ll see what I can do.

But like you said, we might become experts to them, but as I looked around the room, they were all experts in their particular area, and there were 3 others in the room learning from those experts. My term ‘sharing our experiences’ how ever we can.

Thank you for the topic.

And even though you don’t consider yourself an expert, to someone just starting out, you may be more advanced than they are. When they read about your research in your blog, you just might be the “expert” they need to point them in the right direction. ; )
