Sad to say that they will not be on display for some considerable time as the Museum is closing for six months on September 2nd for the final stage of their big renovation project. But on the bright side they are having a big closing party on the last day, with eats and drink and dancing to live music so I should go to that. My membership to the Museum has been extended for six months so I will not be losing out on that but I will miss going to visit, especially to get my fix of the Raven and the First Men and I will miss the shop which gets such a lot of my business when I am looking for gifts.

Well done the RCMP! With their record I'm sure you're right - they'll find the missing piece.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
That's great news. I was so afraid from your last post about this that the gold one which was recovered with the first ones would have been melted down. That's fabulous the piece was recovered mostly intact.
Ah, well that's a relief.
Gosh that's wonderful!
Sometimes good news are good news. Quod erat demonstrandum. :)
THat's great news jmb!
That is such good news :-)
That was such a terrible crime! But glad all is back, even though one piece damaged.
Some good news there,jmb.
Six months will go very quickly.
