Hey John,
What is the reason that Darius Harms is so vehament about Charles City getting No. 3? Does He have something against the owners?, or the HPOCA? Who got Him so riled up?
I met Darius at the Heritage Tractor ride a couple of years ago and He seemed like a really good guy with no axes to grind.
Maby We should let John Hume have a chance at talking reason with the Smithsonian reps. Threatening them and writing poison pen letters seems to me to be like choking a chicken to get it to lay more eggs.

Andy, if you have a question about the Heritage Museum, might be a good idea to stop in and take a look rather than forming an opinion while driving by at 65 mph. 
I subscribe to the Heritage Museum, a truly not for profit organization that benifits all agricultural history. The museum is in its' infancy stages right now, with a bright and promising future.
 Even though my contributions have been small to date, I am proud to be associated with the Museum and its founders.
