Antiques Road Show - Sarasota











Our friends Dave Dorgan and Dan Dubriel came to the Antiques Road Show at the Ringling Museum in Sarasota. They flew down from Chicago and Minneapolis.  Dave brought with him Native American artifacts that he had purchased at auction for $67.00. Not bad.

We had looked at the objects and thought they were too perfect.  And they were perfect.

Dave also brought some Roman lamp molds that he had been given in Tunisia while he was in the Peace Corps. Also valuable.

Dan took over a large Thai tapestry that we owned for which we paid $20. They estimated it was worth $200 to $300.

Beth and I are members of the Museum. A very nice place.


Ascension Island






We flew Space A to Ascension Island and returned Jan 21-24, 2019.  Ascension Island is remote, south of the Equator and midway between Africa and South America. Two long days of travel with one day of visit. More photos and scoop at:
