Spending multiple days highlighting the names on the leaves of the Guelph Museum “Family Tree”. I forged the tree in 2011. The tree was to recognize donations made to the museum to assist in its relocation to the former Loretto Abbey. The museum is doing some upgrades, including increased accessibility. The highlighted names will assist with visually challenged visitors. That’s a lot of leaves and a lot of names!

Happy Friday!
