ON EXHIBITING GOLD

Regarding the exhibit of Gold in Houston that Dick
Johnson informed us about, Brad Karoleff writes: "Wow!
A gold exhibit where you can actually touch a 25 pound
gold bar! I am sure almost everyone will want to caress
it during their visit to the exhibit. I just wonder how much
less it will weigh at the end of the show. I wonder if the
museum will be willing to take a very accurate weight of
the pre and post show bar to determine the loss. Or,
maybe we shouldn't tell them to keep them from changing
their minds on allowing the "hands on" learning experience."

[One would think the museum would at least take the step
of laquering the bar to prevent loss. Perhaps they already
have. I wonder what the guards would think if someone
walked up and sandpapered their fingertips before touching
it... -Editor]
