| This year's QAR open house on Saturday April 26th was
extremely successful with over 600 people visiting the conservation
lab in Greenville. DCR staff with assistance from ECU faculty
and students put on a great show. Those who attended were a remarkably
diverse group, who expressed great appreciation for the opportunity
to see rare artifacts and learn first hand all that goes on during
the QAR project. Most folks that came were from North Carolina,
but visitors also sought us out from South Carolina, Mississippi,
Missouri, Florida, and Tennessee.
The QAR conservation team Sarah Watkins-Kenney, Wendy
Welsh, Shanna Daniels, Franklin Price, Myron Ralston, Adria
Focht, Valerie Grussing (and husband Matt), Jonathan Schleier
and former QAR employee, Eric Norgren (aka Blackbeard),
deserve a tremendous amount of credit for pulling the event
together. They received welcome support from Karen Browning
(and friend Kellie Albus), Chris Southerly, Dave Moore, Richard
Lawrence, Nathan Henry, and Sim Wilde. Special thanks goes to
Dr. Larry Babits, Director of ECU's Maritime History Program,
who manned the small arms display area.
