This email requested my police work for display and later the Carnegie Science Center requested an extension.

 


 

Dear Mr. Exter:
I am writing to ask permission to display your composites and accompanying photo images as part of a free educational program that is being produced at Carnegie Science Center, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The program being developed is titled "I-Witness", and accompanies the traveling exhibit "Whodunit? The Science of Solving Crime", which will arrive in Pittsburgh in October, 1999 for a 6-month stay.
"I-Witness" is a free, 20-minute activity for school groups, which can range from 30 to 200 students at a time. The main thrust of the activity is to observe a crime scene (an artistic rendering of one) to try to test everyone's powers of observation and recall.
I thought it would be good to be able to display to students some of the actual art that professionals like yourself have produced that have contributed greatly to criminal investigations.
If you grant permission, the images could be taken direct from the website and would be displayed on a screen. We would not alter, reproduce, or distribute the images of your work in any way. We would, however, supply the web address for folks who want to visit it.
I look forward to your response; thanks for your kind consideration.
