As I was looking at the photos from today's Smithsonian donation ceremony, I noticed a very familiar photo accompanying the Horton ornaments: The photo of the various ornaments which was used on my website from 2010-2013, until I updated the photo with more recent photos in 2014.

Here's the photo that was on the Jason47 website from 2010-2013, as archived by the Internet Archive:

Jason, that is fabulous! You are such a dedicated Days person, and I know only too well the time, energy and yes, $$$ that you expend into the material you gather. It is no wonder your photo was saved by the show, and used. Were the ornaments themselves donated as well?
Bless you and thank you Jason, your hard work is definitely appreciated by this board for sure.
 
Wow - congratulations! What an honor. Hope you eventually get credit at the Smithsonian exhibit (assuming they haven't yet included you as the source of the photo). Love the Smithsonian and all its history.
 
Congrats, Jason. This is not only a coup for you, but for Days because its items made it to the Smithsonian, This is a sign that the show is a true part of American culture. This should be a message to the writers, Corday, and the other TPTB to take better care of this cultural icon.
