May update and Old Baldy Lighthouse.

Old Baldy Lighthouse and Museum Interpretive Plan, Bald Head Island, NC.  http://www.oldbaldy.org/  JVA, working with Matt Kaser of Kaser Design, was awarded the contract to develop the interpretive plan and exhibit concept plan for the Old Baldy Lighthouse and Museum.  You can visit this site via their web site link.  The project will start in May and be completed by August, 2012.  The photo is the Old Baldy Lighthouse.  What a great location to be working in during the spring and summer :).

April Update

Hi folks,
March was a slow month for travel but a huge month for writing. We are about 1/2 way through the writing for our new "Interpretive Writing" text book. I was also busy finishing writing up interpretive plan drafts for several projects, and preparting for a trip back to Korea in May/June to work on our National Arboretum training program. I was also just asked to write a new interpretation text book for Korea, working with Prof. Ju-hee Lee who will do the translations and insert Korean photos and analogies.

A few days ago I had the pleasure to providing a lecture at the University of Michigan, Flint Campus for their history department on Careers in Heritage Interpretation, which was fun.

Right now we are getting ready to finish up the fabrication for all the interpretive panels and exhibit materials for the COE Bonnet Carrie Spillway, which we hope to have wrapped up by June. I'll post some of the photos when everything is in place.

I have a new newsletter I just started "INTERPnews". If you would like a copy send me your e-mail address.

That's it for now. JV (jvainterp@aol.com)
