Has he been actively trying to get one started, and if so, what has been
the major problem? One thing that has been suggested by a couple people
I have talked to is to have displays that include technology developed
by local companies. My feeling so far is that the funding sources will
have a large impact on what is covered. I saw an interesting web site a
couple of days ago, http://www.mysticseaport.org, that has what appears
to be a somewhat self supporting museum going, i.e. no state or federal
monies involved. I find THAT to be most admirable!!!
