A note about Don's note--Fort Worth built a great big new library downtown a number of years ago, larger than was originally planned but someone said "we'll need it later." We watched the empty space sit there for a number of years but finally money did come along and the rest of the work was done and this is one lucky city to have had someone suggest they build in that extra space.

My remarks can only be taken as the most general regarding FolkLife, since I have only heard about it second hand. Having attended other events that over the years got bigger and spread out, there are plusses and minuses to that kind of division of activities. Bob is wise to wait until it's over before wading into the topic. You'll have some fresh ideas to discuss when it's over.
