Mudjack, be sure you set a minimum bid if this auction actually goes through. Not that I think you'll need it for this treasure, but it sets a precedent. That should become part of the procedure so no one feels their donation was in vain if something sells for a song, so to speak.I really think this is a fine offer and a fine idea. Max and Dick have spent much much money (not to mention time!) to create and maintain this place, but I would like to see all of us help a bit now that it's so big, in ways that don't hurt the spirit of the place.
Note to Everybody, Sandy's last name is pronounced "Pay-ton" and spelled "Paton." Or am I having yet another senior moment, Sandy? - Rita F
