Montana Heritage Commission Ridicules Collection
By Craig Smith

I noticed an interesting plaque on the restored orchestrion.  It said
that "AMICA would continue as a active partner in the preservation and
restoration of the instruments" in the Bovey Collection.

Perhaps some AMICA members who are also MMD members could put the arm
on the Commission or the curator to update the signage.  A general sign
pointing out the progress of the process would be helpful since one
instrument is done and a couple others are being worked on.  And who
knows how to write a grant proposal for additional funds or to support
volunteers?

By the way, I didn't see any derogatory signage on any of the web pages
I looked at!
