Message:: [QUOTE="Aquitaine, post: 193780, member: 602"]Bev, I have to say that their museum has gotten much better over the years, but also over the years I had watched how some things there had deteriorated.......not 100% their fault when you live on a damp windy Island in a drafty 1800's building for a museum......MANY improvements have since been made, over the years, much to its credit.....decades ago my Mom became a lifetime member and was getting very involved with the historical society......was even invited to become a curator.......until one of the "old timers" also running it NOT SO politely uninvited her from that offer!!!!!!  Ya kinda had to be 'born and bred there to be one of them!!!!  So, even though I personally really LIKE the present curator, and have donated a few things here and there, I do know how things are run on that tight little Island.......and the Island will always have a piece of my heart, but feel no particular compunction to donate much more in that direction!!!! BTW......I DO THINK that's amazing that you go back among the original settlers!!!!!  Did you 'cruise the cemetery???????????[/QUOTE]
