Hi I am not certain but I think Bev Tosh's exhibition will be at the War
Museum at some point in the future, does anybody know?

Good work Melynda, the Year of the War Bride should be 2006.
I visited the War Museum in Ottawa on the weekend, but did not
see any War Bride Exhibit, I was disappointed, The museum is
fabulous,
