| | MESDA Creates Advisory Board; Maine Antique Digest, February 2001 |
 | | Founder Frank Horton now lives at a nursing home and is on site irregularly, and research director Brad Rauschenberg has reduced his time to a few days each week. |
 | | MESDA is preparing for a transition that may include expanding its publications and Web site presence, focusing on regional research strengths, building its archaeological and restoration activities and connections, identifying knowledgeable speakers and new staff, building on its reputation for serious scholarship, and touring portions of the collection to a wider audience. |
 | | In support of the anticipated changes, an advisory board has been created under the leadership of Hobart "Hobie" Caward, president of Old Salem, Inc. Members include collectors, dealers, and scholars such as Robert Brunk, Sumpter Priddy III, Jim and Harriet Pratt, Robert Hicks, Walter Edgar, Betsy Bullock, Richard McHenry, and Ted Landsmark. |
