Partly right Charlie. I just spoke to Meg yesterday. The museum has told her she has to get by, by cutting the volunteer staff by 50%. A tuff thing to put on anyone & Meg has been handling HER part of this festival with such grace, finesse & expertise over as many years as I can remember, that she's a joy & pleasure to work for & makes it a worth while & happy arrangement for all the volunteers. This year she's in for tuff time & having to tell people that have been volunteering for a decade or more (myself included) that they've been cut I'm sure is taking a toll on her. I'd like to lift a glass to Meg, here's to you Meg. Anyways I don't know if I'll be making it this year, hopefully there'll be a next year & thank you to Marc B., Charlie & Sciencegeek for your kind offers, I'm still trying to find a way to make it doable.
