New Testaments plus Military Camouflage

The May lobby exhibit is split between two exhibitors.

This collection of New Testaments and books are on loan to us from Marian Ballard. Marian's father, John Hood, collected most of them starting with his own during World War II. Marian has also acquired a couple of them from the 1800s to add to her collection.

These camouflage items were accumulated by Dave Rodriguez.

 "Woodland" camouflage used about 1980 - 2000.

 "Desert" camouflage used about 2005 to present.

 "Digital" camouflage used about 2005 to present.
 "Modified Digital" camouflage.

Dave made this Ghillie suit which would be used by military snipers. The ghillie suit was developed by Scottish gamekeepers as a portable hunting blind.

As always there is no admission to visit the lobby exhibit. Also plan to check out all the new items Kelsi has been adding to our gift shop.
