    During the Covid lockdown I wrote a memoir of 50 years of museum work: Trade Secrets: a life in and around museums. The attached pdf can be read on any device. The book is also available for free download at archive.org, and the book version can be ordered at cost ($20 plus shipping) from the Blurb Bookstore. If you have time to take a look, I welcome your comments! Email me at parman.alice AT gmail.

    Alice, good for you! I'm sure your insights will benefit all. And I imagine it also must have been somewhat cathartic to write? 
    Best,
    John
