Hi All,

The time has arrived to form a committee and get started on the scope of Where, What, How, and When a HPOCA Museum will come to be.

I announced the formation of the committee at the Winter Get-Together and so far have members Jerry Ellis, Jerry Webb, Nelson Lacount, and Rodney Romain to serve. All are welcome and invited to get involved in any way they can or want.

One of the first objectives is to determine the location. So far most attention has been focused on South Bend IN. It would also be prudent to contact other cities where factories and offices were located so as not to leave anyone out.

Second is the scope of the museum and it's displays and what type and style of building will be needed to accomplish that. Indoor/outdoor areas and possible multi-stories.

Also things such as how the administration and content acquisition will be handled.

These are just a few things to chew on, feel free to chime in. John.
