This brings up a good question. Are people hesistant
to phone up a conservator? If so, why? Is it no funds
for conservation? Is it that they just do not know who to
call?
I would suggest that if such snotty and condescending commentary,
such as that by Ms. Gutenkauf is a standard, that might just be why
people are not calling quite as readily.
Just a thought.
