I am honored and would like to accept. Please <br /> see the attached resume for information on my professional and community work. <br /> I must remind you that although I am an art historian who works both on architecture and on urban design and <br /> landscape history specifically,my formal training is in the study of the ancient and medieval world. <br /> I hope this does not disqualify me because as you know,I am a preservationist at heart and a perpetual student. I have <br /> made my business and volunteer work in historic preservation in South Bend a vocation in which I am constantly <br /> educating myself. My art historical and architectural training has made me a quick study in the field of local I9'"and <br /> 20th century architecture. My inclinations and work as an archaeologist were entirely in the realm of preservation and <br /> research. <br />
