interviewing Doctor Rose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Would you like to introduce yourself?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b>\u00a0Hi, I&#8217;m Lynn Rose.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I do ancient history and disabilities studies at Truman State University, where I&#8217;ve worked since 1995.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I like to travel internationally.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0So, my first question to you is, in your opinion what is a Cabinet of Curiosities?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0This is an interesting question because it ties in with freakery, freak studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I know cabinet of curiosities from the 19th, 20th centuries when people would collect human oddities, including fetuses, body parts, and so on.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">So I think of it as a rather strange upper class, spare time, activity.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Okay, that is definitely the first answer like that I&#8217;ve gotten.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">What were a few of the items that you loaned to this class project?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0I think I loaned two camels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">One was a wooden toy that my father played with and it&#8217;s not from Egypt but is very much part of the Egyptomania that was going on and another was a camel that I myself played with as a child in Egypt.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">It is a camel made of camel skin with camel gear, which is kind of creepy, but I also had a life size camel, a camel sized camel, in my bedroom made of camel skin.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">It was sort of like a rocking horse, except a camel.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0That&#8217;s a little bit disturbing but also a lot of fun.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0It explains a lot, doesn&#8217;t it? (said with a smile)<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0That&#8217;s one way to describe it, yes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">So, is there a particular reason you decided to donate these items to the cabinet of curiosities?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0It kind of actually sounds a little bit closer to what you actually view as a cabinet of curiosities because the skin element.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0This is true; that&#8217;s an interesting connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I offered these items to the cabinet of curiosities because you asked me to come up with some items and this is what I came up with.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0You explained a little bit that these were things from your childhood, but is that the only reason you still have them in your possession, or how did you come across them and why did you keep them?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Well, we accumulate things, as you&#8217;ll find out in another generation or two, and yes this is my accumulation from my childhood, yes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0So that is why you kept hold of them, just fond memories?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Well, yea and you don&#8217;t want to throw things out.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I was able to put my troll collection on ebay and get a pretty penny for them.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">The little troll dolls with the hair?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Yes, that&#8217;s right.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Had over a hundred of them, but that&#8217;s another story.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Oh, goodness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Did you have a favorite item that you donated?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Interesting question.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I hadn&#8217;t thought about it in terms of favorite items.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Yea, among those items the charm bracelet of my grandmother with the various Egyptomania items on it I&#8217;d have to say is my favorite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I actually wear it from time to time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I won&#8217;t be wearing it for a couple of years, but that&#8217;s okay.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I have lots of jewelry.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Which religious symbols were on that bracelet?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I know there were about nine total.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Oh, I guess I didn&#8217;t think of them as religious symbols but I suppose they are because there is the anhk and shield and crescent, and a Star of David, and camels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">What else was on there?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0I know you had a couple Islamic symbols.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Yea, I think there was a little itty, bitty Quran. Something about Istanbul.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Yea, but camels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Camels seem to be a theme.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Yes they do.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">So was it something that she collected?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Have you added to that bracelet in any way?\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">Or are they all charms that she placed on it?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0I think that they were all charms that she placed on it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">It&#8217;s even a little itty bitty Greek vase on it because they went to Greece to on their way back.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">I only added the Star of David.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">That&#8217;s my only addition to the bracelet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0So as she traveled, she would add a charm from some place she&#8217;s gone?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Well, this was a one time travel charm bracelet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">So when my grandparents came to Cairo to visit us, I don&#8217;t know how it started, but all the charms are from that trip to Cairo and then the surrounding areas that they visited?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Do you think that influenced your desire to travel in anyway?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Oh yes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Wish I could have done that.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Do you ever display any of these pieces on your own or is it just something you&#8217;ve had stored away?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Hmm.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Another interesting question.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0I guess I do from time to time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">My living room changes display.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0It&#8217;s quite eclectic.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0And yeah, I guess the camel shows up sometimes and the bits of marble and yes, I guess everything in that collection shows up.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Stephanie Fritz:\u00a0<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">You&#8217;re just rotating it?<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\"><b>Lynn Rose:<\/b><\/span><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">\u00a0Yeah.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color:
