[NJARC] Museum Award - Not

[John Dilks]

Well Then,...........


Send them the list of AWA members who have built our museum. Surely we have many more than three.


But it's typical AWA snobbery at work.  If we want to have any chance/say there, then one of us should donate $100,000. and buy a seat on the board.  (But that would be a waste of money. They will outnumber you and you'll have no say.)


Bitter and tired of the shenanigans. 74 now and I won't have to worry about this much longer,

   John Dilks, K2TQN
