If you wish to add comments in response to
Simon Tait's article on the best regards Mary Mary W. Ballard Senior Textiles Conservator, Museum Conservation Institute, Smithsonian
Institution tel: 301-238-1210 fax: 301-238-3709 email ballardm@xxxxxx Dear all Icon has assisted Simon Tait to write this article on the
TCC closure in The Times. The online version gives readers the chance to
comment in the 'Have Your Say' box at the bottom. Please will you do so BECAUSE: 1. A high rate of feedback demonstrates to the editor
that there is wide interest in the story. This may help Simon do a follow
story at a later date. 2. Simon Cane sent in a letter to the Times on
behalf of our Board which was not published. If the editors see it is big
news there is a chance our letter will get published now. 3. We also helped Maev Kennedy write a piece for the
Guardian but it was 'spiked'. It will help her get her editors to run the
piece in The Guardian if there is a good response to the story in the Times. Please forward this message to your colleagues. Thanks Alastair McCapra |
