Educating The Next Generation
By Wayne Myers

I am encouraged by all the inputs about reaching the next generation of
collectors.  Mary Ellen and I are relatively new comers (10-ish years).
You may have read in the MBSI Journal about the exhibit we co-chaired
at the Orlando Science Center.  This was a multi-generation exposure
to our hobby, having some 10,000 visitors.

We did sign up about a half dozen new members, but it was the spark
in the eyes of the youth that kept us going.  I am sure that this will
have a lasting effect on these youngsters for some time to come and will
ensure that the craft will live long.

Hi from Florida,
Wayne Myers
