Translation:

Marc Ellis agrees: that they are good people.  But neither will have 
anything to do with the museum.
    Question:  Is it true that the "so called AWA Board Members", even the 
President and Vice President will have no direct impact on the 
museum?  Then, what impact will the members have?  Does anyone remember 
when it was our museum?
    Answer:  It was once.  It can again.  Save the AWA.

Marc Ellis continues: by saying they are separate entities.
    Question:  Does anyone remember seeing our bylaws, or voting to change 
them?  Does anyone remember when they were one?  When it was ours?
    Answer:  It was once.  It can again.  Save the AWA.

Marc Ellis concludes:  that the museum is in charge of two people.
    Question:  Does anyone remember nominating them or any election where 
they were elected by popular vote?  Do you remember when you were proud to 
belong to the AWA, and thought it well run?
    Answer:  It was once.  It can again.  Save the AWA.
