Dear List and E.P.:

Long ago I've come to respect the GR's belief that it is wrong to
participate in a financial value being placed on a revered and sacred
object---even though I've personally believed that a valuation of such
items is only a reflection of the value ascribed by non-tribal members.

Anyway, let's use your logic, E.P. Don't you think if the GR was
sincerely interested in a Willamette acquisition they would have been
proactive and reached out to a benefactor by now? Please, take a
moment and think about it.

And then please also consider that when the AMNH offered to provide a
~10 kg specimen to the GR, this was also rejected.

In short, it would seem compelling the GR is not really so interested
in a large specimen of Willamette---and that's okay!


Respectfully and Peacefully,

Darryl



Darryl
