We are back in DC enjoying time with family. Our first adventure of this trip was to go to Natural History to see the exhibit Cheryl created on elephants and their plight today
The exhibit goes back in history to show human’s interaction with these magnificent creatures. Included are Theodore Roosevelt’s photos of his hunting trips to Africa as well as his later leadership regarding the environment.
For too many decades people were indifferent to the consequences of poaching elephants. This exhibit calls the public’s attention to what is currently happening.
The exhibit contains a collection of books and articles show the gradual awareness of the importance of these magnificent beasts. This one is covered in elephant hide.
Included on display are two books from Bennett’s collection
one from Dave’s family’s collection
Cheryl, Dave and Bennett are leaving DC and moving to upstate NY. We have been helping with the packing. Bennett jumped right in to help.
