[TheForge] Mastermyr disposition

Rob, et al

I think we should aggressively pursue the option of having the National
Ornamental Metals Museum put the collection "as is" into a Traveling Trunk
Display.  If they aren't willing to do this then we should do it ourselves so
the the pieces that have been produced can be seen at local chapter(affiliate)
conferences now.  From the responses I've gotten so far to Mastermyr II, it
will be years til the rest of the items are made.  Showing off the efforts so
far might encourage others to participate and volunteer to complete the
remaining items.  I am totlally against the option of letting these items
collect dust in someones basement/garage/bedroom for months or years.
