It
looks like the Elgin run is off for the weekend of Western Days. If you
want to do it the weekend she suggests someone else will have ot arrange as I'll
be out of town.

Well
Ed,
I only talked with
you on the phone Saturday, May 1 but I feel like I know you after seeing your
web page. I hope your poor dog Portia is able to have good days. I
had a dog, Molly, three years ago that died of Liver cancer. She was
the best dog I ever had and I still miss her. But, her last three months
were very good months. She got all of the attention and love she
deserved. I took her to A&M university and they were able to help her
live a more comfortable life with medication.
I also know that you
are about to get married. Congratulations!
Now, to
business. When I last talked to you, you were going to check with your
board about insurance for the two days you were going to exhibit at the
museum. We are presently working on getting insurance by forming a group
with other museums to share the cost but that will take at least 6 months to get
that operational. I have looked briefly at the railroad layouts you have
and I am very impressed and cannot wait to have your
exhibit!
But, Western Days
week-end is not going to work out for us. As I told you, I am having a
fundraiser at my house for the museum that week-end and many of our members are
involved in other Western Days activities so we will be spread very thin
that week-end. We are a pretty small group. Also, it is a little late to
get this printed in the Western Days brochures, etc. All Western Day
activities, except the parade, are not downtown -they are at another park.
So after the parade most people leave the downtown area.
A good date for the
museum would be the weekend of July 17 & 18. But, I do not know how
that would work for you.
Please let me know
what your ideas are. And, again I am very excited about your
exhibit.
