I vigorously recommend seeing this collection.  It's
universally praised as being a superb one, lovingly
orgainzed and clearly displayed.  (Having seen it,
I agree.  He spent 25 years developing it!)

It probably wouldn't be hard to get Bro. Dowd to
meet a group; his retirement home is on-campus.
I can get you-all in contact with him.

The display site is no longer the Engineering
Library as such; it is now simply a reading
room.

The location isn't a particularly threatening
part of the Bronx.

If any of you have TCA Special Pub No. 1, you
have a clear idea of what's displayed; it's an
index to the 60-odd display panels.

(John:  I'm not sure that the "cc" copy of this
will make it to the NJARC list; will advise if
it bounces.)
