Museum Collection Far From ‘Dinky’
* I must point out an error in your otherwise good article on our new museum curator, Christine Parker. The Maritime Museum in Channel Islands has the only collection of Marple models in the world. All nine of the models this master builder created are on special display in the museum and are presented daily by a talented group of docents.
Also, as a longtime supporter of the museum, I have to take exception to your interpretation of our chairman’s tongue-in-cheek usage of the word “dinky.” There is not, nor has there ever been, anything “dinky” about the quality of the collection or its presentation to the public.
We are extremely fortunate to have a museum of this outstanding quality in our backyard, and we are all working very hard to spread that word.
