[TheForge] FW: Mastermyr

[Rob Fertner]

Guys,

After a long chase, this is the best answer I got about the location of the
Mastermyr collection.

A big thanks to JoAnn and Bill's widow, April. There is no one from ABANA
near Johnstown to check

the trailer to see if the collection is in there. I'm going to think about
the letter I going to write

to the Board to settle this. If anyone else wants to give their 2 cents to
the Board, feel free.

The link is in the message below.

I think I found your answer.  It was on display at the 2018 conference, and
Chris Holt (working in the 'exhibit' area then) said it was probably packed
up in the ABANA trailer.  That trailer is now housed in Johnstown PA, and I
heard that the trailer is now officially 'retired' from ABANA (it hasn't
been opened since 2018, I think.).  Not sure if anyone on the board is aware
that's the exhibit is even in the trailer, or that they are interested in
having it on display at Johnstown.  

You can always write board at abana.org <mailto:board at abana.org>  and ask the
who, what, when, where, and how come of all the details for exhibits or
display at Johnstown, how the art will be insured, how secure the area is
from the general public, and will it be available for affiliates to borrow
to place it on display..  

Just a suggestion.
