A couple gifts that we unfortunately did not get the names of the givers include:

-A very large basket full of quahog shells, from a participant at the Mississinewa 1812 living history event.
Thank you Sheryl Hartman, who has done quite a few things for us, and is always bringing us new and fascinating research. She has also given us gifts to utilize in our programs including a great longbow and a bag she twined herself.
Of course, we always have to thank Ralph Heath for his generous pricing of the quillworked items we purchase for our education kit. Ralph is one of the most talented artists we have ever had the pleasure to know, and his work, based on historic museum pieces, usually exceeds the originals in quality - a rarity in today's world.
