I have always wished that you would run for office, so that, at the least, your ideas could be thoroughly vetted and understood by the BOD. The one thing you suggest that I hope will not be the future is the narrowing of our focus to Nevada. I do like and enjoy Nevada history, but, like so many others, it's not my focus. I understand why you using it as a point of discussion, however.

Is there any way you can simply have a long discussion with the Board, and the MOGH Board about what you know about grants? That seems to me to be the most significant part of your post. Also, what you see as events, features or whatever that would appeal to a younger set of collectors. If you have ideas about that, I'm sure the Board will at least listen.
