Comments

I ❤️ The A2 Observer. Such good writing. Many memories of the 1,000's of articles I've read over the years. Thanks for this exhibit (and the two badges).

I wish there were more badges in the Explorer series! We loved the ones a few summers ago where you had to guess where pictures were taken from and visit those locations.
