“I’ve always been a dreamer with crazy ideas,” Blair said with a laugh. “I’ve always wanted to do something and I’ve always had an interest in helping people.

"I feel like I am the custodian of these objects somehow and there is a story to tell. If you do it right, it is an interesting story for somebody. Not everybody, but somebody."

“It’s a great testament to who has been here, who’ve been serving since the 60s all the way through to 2020.”
