Finishing Our Project at SAMO

Our project at SAMO was challenging, but quite rewarding and would turn into the largest deaccession in the history of the National Park Service. It’s truly amazing how much paperwork is involved in deaccessioning museum collections that no longer exist. Beth and the staff at SAMO were great to work with and assisted us throughout the process.

Lots of Paperwork - Even the Kitty Had to Help

Although our original commitment to SAMO was for two months, the park asked us if we would like to extend our stay through March 2020. We readily agreed.

Unfortunately, the realities of the burgeoning COVID-19 pandemic soon became a factor that could not be ignored. Although we were mostly isolated from everyone while working at the LaKretz Center, the park decided to send us back to Colorado on March 18, 2020.

Before we left, the entire staff thanked us with a lovely luncheon. It had been a great group of people to work with.

Thanks for a Great Going-Away Lunch

All Packed and Ready to Leave
