Oh dear, I wasn't worried about it at first since it's all happening way
over there in Boston.  Should we be worried?  I am sure someone out there
will blow me out of the water for saying that, but I really wasn't
particularly worried.  And I guess it all depends on how the Museum of
Fine Arts has been operating in the past, and whether they had good or
bad management.  That's not for me to say.  I hadn't heard a bad thing
myself, so this whole reorganizing may be what the institution needs as
opposed to what the staff needs.  Is that the moral of the story?  And
isn't that what we all clamor about?  The good of the institution and its
survival?
