Jodi, if you only knew all the hurtful details of the real story... I appreciate your comments - I feel them as a museum employee [as I've been] as well as feeling like a truly non-important board member. My M.A. didn't prepare me for a small group of people with outdated ideas - we're all idealists. They want to paint or re-upholster furniture "because it will look better" - if we just into decorating Victorian houses, that would be fine. A museum is different. And they don't get it. That's the problem. Sorry you didn't get that the 1st time.
