Re: “Gratitude Owed to Departing Founder”
As someone who was also forced from the board of a national historic museum that he founded and ran successfully for more than 25 years, I feel Jay's pain. Without the love, drive and intense interest in a project that brought about its creation in the first place, many formerly successful museums have floundered and failed shortly after the exit of their originators (as did mine).
Jay should be given a ticker tape parade for his dedication to history and education, not a rudely-conceived expulsion. On behalf of all lovers of history, our collective hats are off to you Jay. Godspeed
