has called looking for advice regarding the restoration of several 
1930'2-40's era school desks--the metal framed, wooden desktops with 
inkwell type--that have been stored both inside and outside at different 
times, and with some painted green at one point.</span></font></div>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">Ted would like to restore them to their original finish and form for re-
use as part of their interpretive centre for children, but has been told he 
can't or shouldn't do that...?</span></font></div>
<div align="left"><br/>

<div align="left"><font face="Arial"><span style="font-size:10pt">Any advice or suggestions from those on BCMA-L who may have 
similar school desks from the period, or have restored these before, or 
could offer Ted some direction, can contact Ted directly at:</span></font></div>
