Thanks for posting this Wayne
I've been meaning to post something about ever since this travesty occurred!

AND IT IS A FREAKING TRAVESTY!!

I took lapidary classes there and know many of the fine folks
who vounteered thier time.
I hadn't known how lousy they were treated
untill I read that article

For them to close this museam and
leave it empty during Arizona centennial
is really beyond the pale of decency !

There are petitions going around
hopefully I'll be making some contacts
and have more information...
