I think we could all...

    I am talking to Steamtown about setting up a authentic Hobo Jungle

    for a weekend that would have music and storys about hobos. Ted McKnight who is the the National Park service archivist has collected stuff about hobos in his archive. They are open to the idea of a interpretive display with authentic hobos. How would we pull this off?
