Just a quick update on the status of the museum--I have spoken to the mayor of South Bend, and several others this week in continuing our efforts to develop a museum in South Bend.  The current stumbling block is to pick the site.  There are some concerns about the old plant buildings which could be resolved in locating near the Copshaholm museum.  We are currently waiting on a decision from the Studebaker museum people as to where they will locate their new museum.  While we all agree that it would be great to have 3 museums together (Studebaker, Copshaholm, and HPOCA), it is very questionable if there will be enough room available for all 3, and this also has the potential to meet with some disapproval from area residents.  It appears much more agreeable for 2 of the 3 to locate there, both to others in the area and to space restraints.  The Studebaker group had been rumored to have picked another site, but discussions with city officials this week confirm that this was only a rumor, and a final decision has not yet been made.  For our group, we might be better off if the Studebaker group did locate in a different spot, as their space needs are greater than ours at the present.  We would then be able to benefit from the tie in with the Oliver family, and work with the Northern IN Center for History at the Copshaholm site.  This has been expressed to the mayor, along with our position that we have definitely not given up on the old plant buildings, but we all need some time for things to work out as to who should locate where, and what the city&#039;s role will be in assisting with both projects.  I hope to make a trip to South Bend, around mid March, to meet with several of the people involved, and city officials to try and update all of us as to current happenings.  Seems like a long and complicated process, but do believe it will all be worth it when we can stand in the middle of our own museum.  Will update more as info is available.  Terry.
