U nfortunately, space does not permit me to recall all of the reminiscences related to us that day. We learned a great deal about the life and work of Dr. Raasch and his collegues and what it was like to live in Milwaukee and work at MPM sixty years ago. Now, at least one of the names that we've typed thousands of times has a smiling face and a warm personality to accompany it. We were fortunate to share some time, however brief, with him while he was here. There are many parallels between his time at MPM and ours.
Curators still work together to make collections and construct exhibits.
We are still in the business of bringing science to the public, and at least one geology curator is still inclined to bring home locally collected fossils on public transit, but in a burlap bag.
