 its six-week journey from the Marshall Islands, the canoe will be 

 dried out, assembled, and installed in the major new exhibit 

 "Traveling the Pacific," opening in November. Shown escorting 

 the canoe are (1. to r.) Patricia Guizzetti, Randale Esslinger, and 

 Jameil AJ-Oboudi, all of Design and Production. Photo by Diane

WHERE CREDIT IS DUE. . . 



The April Bulletin, which featured an article on the new 

 "Families at Work" exhibit, neglected to identify and 

 to credit staff members whose dedication and skill were 

 critical in developing that exhibit. Susan Curran was the 

 exhibit developer, Sydney Hart was assistant developer, 

 Donald Skinner was the designer, and Cameron Zebrun 

 was the lead preparator. A large support staff also con- 

 tributed, in varying degrees, to its creation.
