[BCMA] Canyon War kicks off Knowledge series

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Good morning.
I've read on other e-mails that readers are asking that the submissions be more explicit:  what museum is the listserv about, whose the author of the e-mail, examples.  I believe this one pertains to the knowledge station on t.v., correct?  Not all of us know the different regions and it doesn't take that much longer for the complete address, phone number and name to be included.
Thanks.
