Olympic Flames?
It is early in the morning, a day after the Notre-Dame fire in Paris, and I can’t sleep. I can’t stop thinking about work. I’m the director at the Lake Placid Olympic Museum, where I’ve worked for 15 years, and I’ve had a lot of sleepless nights thinking about “what-ifs.” Right now it is: what if there were a fire?
One of my jobs is to protect all the things inside the museum, some 25,000 artifacts. We have an emergency plan, but I don’t know how anyone can be truly prepared for such a catastrophe.
People ask me all the time what my favorite item in the museum
