Destiny Meets Wes Cowan

In association with the Plains Art Museum's Trash or Treasure event, tonight we met Wes Cowan:

Wes is an anthropologist, auctioneer, appraiser, and in his spare time he appears on TV. Tomorrow, D and I will be meeting with Wes for Collector's Quest (more over there during the weekend), but tonight was Destiny's only opportunity to meet Wes. We were early, so he sat down and chatted with us for a while after we introduced ourselves. During the Q&A, one of the audience asked about how to improve childrens' interest in collecting, and he pointed to Des as an example -- but pointed out she was weird, because she had weird parents. Des was taking notes, and I saw her scribbling like mad to write down his commentary on her interest in collecting. She had a great time, we enjoyed Wes' speech, and look forward to more in the next few days.
