To me, November is a time to reflect and be thankful. This month’s newsletter invites me to be thankful for the opportunity to steward the Peabody’s collections, the ability to learn from colleagues, and the community of capable staff here at the Institution. I hope you all take a moment to reflect on what you can be thankful for.
