Hey, Mike, thanks for this history, it deals with a large part of what I wanted to ask you about for my research (and hopefully still will, one day, in a bit more depth). You’ve done a fantastic job at NMSI, something we can all look up to, and you’ve done so much to inspire debate and fresh ideas in the sector, not to mention being great company, you’ll be much missed. A part of me regrets turning down the job offer you made me 6 years back – that’s no reflection on where I am, and it was also the sensible thing to do (with a new baby, a permanent job closer to home was a good idea), but I know that in some ways I missed out. And now, new baby and all, you trot off to no permanent job, but somehow I know you’re going to do just fine. I just hope that the museum world hasn’t seen the last of you.
Take care, mate, and enjoy it all.
