Hey edfrazi,
The President didn&#039;t have the option at the Nov. 8th meeting to tell Sherry of that decision. I was there, not in the exec session, but at the meeting, and waited in the museum and outside. Landis was first to come out of the building, almost at a run, didn&#039;t slow down to talk. so, I knew something was up. Landis will always stop and chat a while, everybody knows that. I went back in to find out what happened to cause this. I met the board coming out of the meeting room, we all immediately went outside. Within a period of about 3 minutes, Sherry had left the premises, I had been out in the parking lot talking to her earlier for some time, if she was wanting to leave, there had been plenty of opportunity, which leads me to believe she had much more insight in the matter than I did. The question I have would be If I was in her position, knowing what I do, why didn&#039;t she grab Landis, go back inside and make an attempt to rectify the situation? Or at least wait on the rest of them. Maybe something could have been worked out.
I heard Sherry is getting her own mag, that would be a better fit for her, I think it would open many possibilities for her. I don&#039;t know of any mag dedicated to memorabilia, or toys, well there might be something for toys, but it isn&#039;t big if it does exist. That would give her good expansion potential, as it is what she mainly collects. I don&#039;t see all bad, I can see some really great potential for the future!
We keep hashing this thing around getting nowhere, not going to. Sherry is moving on with her life, and justly so. She has posted that she is going to the WGT, and going to have fun, I think that would be something good for the rest of us to do.
You mention not setting well with Smithsonian, since when are they God? They took us out of the equation, not the other way around. I think HPOCA treated them very well.

I&#039;m Louisville bound, computer off, I&#039;m out the door! Hope to hear from you soon!
