CODA


IN PREPARATION for this exhibition, its curator wrote letters to a number of public figures who served in the Armed Forces during World War II, and asked them for their recollections about ASE's.

Prominent Americans do not always have the time to deal with requests from undergraduates. Many simply never answer mail from insignificant persons. Others send vaguely worded letters that do not make it clear whether or not they are familiar with the subject at hand. In organizing such a project, one must also be prepared to receive a large number of form letters. Some of the more curious responses received by the curator of this exhibition are displayed here.


Linda Casey, Director of Correspondence, Office of George Bush. Letter to Daniel J. Miller, 15 February 1996.
