[GreenKeys] Antique Wireless Assoc. Museum

[Don Merz]

Heck, it's good that the AWA is honest and turned down
the donation. Many out-of-space museums will accept
the donation knowing that it is just going to be
auctioned off for cash or stored without ever being
displayed. So the AWA is showing some real integrity
there.
