exciting new exhibition at spy museum coming soon

So discouraging. There was a time, not too many years ago, when I could speak fluently, without constant hems and haws, while being interviewed live for radio, television or documentary videos. I may have to call it quits for anything off-the-cuff. I'll be eighty years old in a few months, and in a live radio session recorded only yesterday, I proved all but incapable of completing a single sentence without stuttering, stumbling, or completely derailing my train of thought. Bummer.

The interview was conducted by a wonderful radio host named Ben Kieffer, who is featured daily at noon during the week on Iowa Public Radio on a program called River to River. He was wonderful, as was Kathryn Keane (who spoke so eloquently and without a single flaw), who is one of the top executives at the International Spy Museum in Washington DC.

Our tandem interviews came about because that museum is about to open a new, major exhibition about camouflage (called Camouflage: Designed to Deceive), beginning March 1 and continuing for three years. You can find out more about the exhibition contents online at the museum's website. And you'll also find details about the exhibition catalog (for which I wrote the introduction) online here.
