What a fabulous story. I think it is awesome that you donated this to the museum so that others can share in it, as well. The fact that this looks as good as it does and has held up for so long is almost unbelievable. Even after all this time, it still looks beautiful.

Now it is being enjoyed and appreciated by somany more in a whole different way. Thanks so much for your generosity!
