Ausbourne G. + Twitter and Tumblr
I have been uploading more cases to the willardsuitcases.com site. This is a photograph from Ausbourne G’s possessions. He brought a good collection of tools with him to Willard in a nice wooden box. / I am making good progress on getting all the cases online, and will continue to upload more as time allows.
I have set up a Twitter account for those of you who would like updates on a more regular basis. Check it out at @willardsuitcase (no s). And I have also set up a Tumblr site which I have linked to this wordpress site. willardsuitcases.tumblr.com This is the first post where I have linked to both, so let’s hope it all works. Any feedback is appreciated.
Jon Crispin's Notebook 
I love seeing all the cases in one place. I’ve been following your blog for quite some time and I love how everything has come together with Willard Suitcase site. As someone who had a long lost uncle in an institution with only my mother’s early recollections about him, the dignity and respect you and your team show to these patients and their belongings has touched me deeply.
What an amazing subject and body of work you have here. Keep up the great work.
Michelle, Thanks for taking the time to write. I really appreciate your complimentary words about how we try to show respect to the owners of the cases. That, and connecting with people like you are the main reasons we are doing this project. All best, Jon
