Put me portrait up on the Rogues Gallery this evening to join the others.
We at the Museum of Civilization are hosting the Big Viking exhibit from the
Smithsonian Institution until October, and for the past month I have been
able to play (and get paid too) in a beautiful replica Viking longship that
we brought over from Norway.  This craft was made just like the originals
and is a work of art in itself. The real Vikings who came over from Norway
with it, were the nicest folk you could hope to meet. Unfortunately we had
to take it back to Montreal on Sunday and put it on a container ship to go
back to Norway.

One of the fellows who came over, gives courses in Norway in the making of
wrought Iron from when you dig the ore out of the ground with your shovel,
till you hammer the impurities out and work it into something beautiful, or
useful.
