Over the course of the past few days, nature has had a great affect on the mood and demeanor of those that inhabit the Twin Cities. As we reach the middle of December, "mother nature" has provided us with a temperature of 40 degrees and a climate of rainstorms, only to be followed by a temperature of 25-degrees and freezing rain the next day.

Amongst the records of WAM there has resided an occasional personnel file.

When the Frank Gehry designed Frederick R. Weisman Art Museum was built in 1993, a space was created not only for exhibition, education, and experiences with art, but also for another 'e' - events.

The project staff of the WAM Files - Areca, Katie, Erik and myself recently presented our project process and discoveries at the Andersen Library First Fridays event held on November 4. In preparation, we began to add up all of the project results - stories uncovered, boxes processed, hours devoted, etc. I was excited to share our project - yet admittedly unprepared for the reaction we received. After we presented our project and results, we opened the floor for questions... only to receive an exclamation: "We want more!"
