Reflections of the Lindbergh Crate Museum

MPBN videographer Nick Woodward talks about the impression Larry Ross, the owner and operator of the Lindbergh Crate Museum in Canaan, Maine, had on him after Nick shot the video for this segment of Maine Experience. He salutes Ross for recognizing that the wooden crate in which Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis had been shipped back to America was more than "just a box" and had the potential to be more than simply an historical artifact -- Nick explains how Mr. Ross uses it as a teaching and motivational tool to show schoolchildren who visit the Lindbergh Crate Museum how to achieve anything they can dream of.

Dear Nick:

I have knowledge of a fascinating "fuller story" of the Lindberg Crate museum dating back before it was move to Maine from its former resting place in New Hampshire by Larry Ross.

It was the birthplace of the daughter of a Contradance musician who is still active. Accordingly, I believe it would make an excellent follow-on story for the Crate Museum. If interested, contact me at DaveBonnie@aol.com
