Hey Danny,
I don&#039;t know if Sherry was approached recently about problems, but she was in the past. She is a 41 year old businesswoman, as such it is her responsibility to stay current on her situation, and correct problems. As to the monkey wrench, that occurred during the attempted loan of #3, and was an embarrassment to the Senator, at least that was what I heard. As such, our name would be mudd for now with those people. I believe the monkey wrench was thrown by someone outside HPOCA, and the reasoning was believed by some members, not me! I have been around too many politicians to believe Senators can&#039;t influence such decisions. But, that is finished, now we need to revise our strategy, and try to accomplish great things. I do believe our strength is in the individual member, and the greatest reward for these members can be found in participation, at one level or another. Every member can contribute in some way, regardless of how insignificant it may seem, even pennies will in time create great wealth. I wouldn&#039;t be comfortable with alienating any member, too many have been alienated in the past, and that is something I just don&#039;t care for. As far as a museum, that is much more than a building with a bunch of stuff in it. It must have a proper administration, and staff, as well as a financial structure to insure perpetuality. Most folk think a museum is what they see, but what they see is only a tip of the iceburg, what you don&#039;t see is what keeps it going.
