[TheForge] Mastermyr Report

[Dann]

If you donate it to a museum,  there is no guarantee that it will be easily 
available for loan / display at  chapter conferences.   Why the rush to 
give it away?  If there is a physical ABANA headquarters,  perhaps it could 
be displayed or stored there, between chapter- conference  /meetings.   I 
know that a number of members that would love to see this, but found 
themselves unable to attend ABANA 2002 La Crosse.   I know that I would 
love to admire it "close up and personal"  again.

I bet this Mastermyr collection could  pretty much be on the road going 
from one chapter conference to the next for a couple years.

If there is no space to display / store at ABANA headquarters, perhaps 
members like Norm Larson Books, Centaur Forge, Kane & Sons, or others would 
step forward as temporary homes.   I know that I would find display space 
in my office, if it came to that.
