in the 1970s I was fortunate to see the “Treasures of King Tut” exhibit in Chicago

I saw that as well. I think it was as the Museum of Science and Industry. I was too young to appreciate its beauty and significance.

To: The Truth Will Make You Free

I was a college student at the time. I even got my family to see it. My brother and I camped out on the front lawn of the museum to be one of the first ones in when it opened. Half of Chicago was out there, too. Overnight. Nobody was sleeping, it was one big lawn party. People were throwing frisbees, socializing….
It certainly was a different time….
