Dr. Jackson returns

During the renovation activity the portrait of Dr. Jackson was taken (thanks Kimberly) to a conservator for treatment and to stay out of harms way.  The portrait has returned and is in it's home above the case which houses the mace.  To summarize the work performed, the portrait was cleaned, re-stretched and touched up in places that had aged or become damaged.  The cost of the conservation was gracious paid for by Jacqueline and W.C. Jackson III, the Jackson family.  During the fire wall replacement the portrait will be moved to the Hodges Reading Room for safe keeping until January.
