<DIV><SPAN class=828354119-18122006>I know many people will be traveling to
family this week and may be in the NY area so I thought I would post this for
anyone interested. If people are interested I get a number of museum
notices from various museums around the country and would be happy to share the
period announcements. This one includes medieval sculpture, Chinese brush
writing, the armored horse, festival and feasts of the Middle Ages, and other
such goodies.</SPAN></DIV>
