My nephews in the Philippines asked me what I would do with an old
colonial home? last I was home, I siad I would make it into a museum and
stuff it with Norman Owens and W.H. Scotts's books, and a CD-ROM
library of Filipiniana.


Display what I could of native and non-native artifacts.

oh that's a great idea! i'll contribute on sourcing old books on the
philippines from europe. where is your old colonial home? is it in the
province or in manila?
