We moved on to Illinois and set up at the Staab-Polk Funeral Home of Chatham. Paula Staab-Polk was hosting an event as part of the annual American Board of Funeral Service Education convention. More than one hundred teachers and adminstrators representing mortuary schools from across the United States came in by charter buses and toured our exhibit as well as Paula's facility. The group had lunch and listened to several presentations. One of which was by our own boss Harry Kurtz, joined by Frank Lorbach about our exhibit. It was a very interesting group of people and I hope we get a chance to bring our exhibit to many of their schools.
We also had a student group from the local middle school who were taking a grief class come and tour the exhibit. A classmate of theirs had died earlier that year and Paula was meeting with them periodically. They were very curious about the exhibit and asked a lot of questions.
