The hubby and I are co-presenting at The Saving Places Conference, in Denver, on February 7th. Our talk is about engaging a new audience in preservation, and using the internet to create a new fan base for mid-century homes and buildings. I've asked a variety of people to participate in a blogging event. On or around the date of the conference, a variety of experts will write something about what preservation means to them, their connections to this period of history, how they are preserving the past, raising interest, or "living it." I'll also be featuring a guest post written by a popular game designer, Jason Matthews, who designed 1960: The Making of the President and Twilight Struggle (a card driven game about the Cold War).
A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to be apart of this event!!
I admire both of you so much for your powerful drive and desire to help preserve the past. It's a cause that has always been very near and dear to my heart as well, no matter of it was fashion, architecture, cars, collectibles, books, or anything else. If we don't save the past today, who will be there to look after it tomorrow?
