[vcf-midatlantic] Museum Report 7/3/2016

[Jeffrey Brace]

Bill Deg Thanks so much for being docent this past Sunday! I know you come
from further that most docents, so it is much appreciated. I hope that you
are able to do it every once in a while. It is nice to have more docents in
the rotation and docents with different knowledge about the systems.

Bill Drom Thanks for working on the Univac! It is nice to have you and Bill
Deg get the museum pieces working or closer to working condition.
