gary:
Thank you very much. I am rethinking my donation plan. You will certainly be consulted. I appreciate your expertise.
rhett:
I didn't think of this. You are right though. Unless the curator has an interest or there is community awareness and a desire to view these, they could, and probably would, end up in a box in the back room, or sold. I wanted to share a part of the history of the county that is fading away so quickly.
barry:
I posted a photo of the back of that trophy ball card on the Photobucket page. In the photo you can almost make out the date of the union game. It was mentioned in the article but I couldn't find it in the paper when I had the microfilm archive sent here through the Maui library from the Rock Island library back in the mid 80's. Now wouldn't having that actual display board be a collectable? Great minds think alike Barry...you and Rhett, brothers from different mothers.
Rob:
That's an excellent thought. Thanks.
