With respect to the comment about Dr Meldrum’s Sasquatch lecture seeming wildly out of place at the Royal Alberta Museum, perhaps some context is necessary. The lecture series accompanying the Dragons exhibition is fully titled “Here be Dragons…and other creatures,” so with that in mind perhaps Sasquatch isn’t inappropriate. And is in fact a great addition to the series, given the appeal and popularity of Sasquatch or Bigfoot.

You’ll have to talk about Alberta’s own dragon when your here.

Not to begrudge any appearances by Dr. Meldrum, but what’s his Sasquatch lecture doing in there? Seems wildly out of place.

“The Role and Symbolism of Dragons in the Harry Potter Series ~ July 6 • Edmund Kern”

Personally I don’t agree with having a lecture about Dragons in Harry Potter, but then again I’m just tired of all the sensationalism associated with Harry Potter. The books are actually quite mediocre in retrospect.

Anywho sounds like an interesting exhibit. I’ll have to see if it comes to my area.

Good Luck with your segment.
