Yesterday the staff at the Frazier really outdid themselves in hosting a gathering of about 15 ALR members.
In addition to meeting space and free admission, they also invited all the members into the collections area
where about a dozen Schutzen rifles were laid out on tables. Each ALR member was given a pair of white gloves and told to handle (fondle) and photograph whatever they liked.
In addition, they also opened the storage cabinet and invited us to take out and examine anything we
liked. KyFlinter dove headfirst into the cabinet and emerged with two full stock rifles by Louisville builders,
including one by Moses Dixon.
In the meeting room, the staff provided free coffee and softdrinks and bought in sandwiches from a
local cafe. After having lunch and looking at the items brought by members, everyone dispersed to go
through the museum.
I noted two British muskets that I had not seen on previous trips.
It turned out to be such a great day that even the parking lot machine cooperated by breaking
down so parking was free.
I know others took a lot of pix, including a group photo.
All the best
Paul
