 Ken,
Thanks for the compliment. 
I agree a "Meet the Volunteers" page would be good.

 I second Craigs idea. I would include a small photograph of each person.Unfortunately I tend to forget names easily. A collection of names, photos, and storieswould be great. We will all work better and  generate  camaraderie if we know each other and can greet fellow volunteers by name as Ernie always does.
Camaraderie

Dave,
It would be interesting to have a “Meet the Volunteers” page as well. It could be a short paragraph about background and experiences that have drawn them to the museum.

There are two features on the museum website that might interest you. Both are works in progress--anyone who wants to add to them is welcome.

Collections inventoryTim, Ken, Len and I have been adding to an inventory database of the collections that Mike Thompson started long ago. All of the buildings, steam engines, models and related items are included. We're well started on the wireless collections but there is more to do to complete this database. Each item has a page--all have photos, some have additional information, historical descriptions and more. https://newsm.org/collections/
StoriesWe have a database of stories, too. Many are about historical topics (buildings, manufacturers, people, steam engines, wireless), others are about more recent events at the museum (visitors, events, projects). We've always intended to add educational materials, too. If you're interested in writing about any subject relevant to the museum, this is the place to make it available on the web.
