Sorry I missed you, Bob....I had met Hilburn's mother on previous visits, but at least this time when she spoke of the BLM, she seemed to be more positive about the general outlook for the future. She said they're making concerted efforts to keep up maintenance of the building, there's a new (to me anyway) sign out front hyping the "Old Woman" meteorite, etc. I just hope that her "volunteer spirit" (and that of her son) is enough to keep the operation afloat as far as staffing the place, though.....one might reasonably worry that "volunteer spirit" alone, no matter how dedicated, can't shoulder the burden indefinitely.
