I think your two cents is worth more than that, Walter. I appreciate
knowing your opinion and I agree with you.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays,

**** Have you ever wished you could tell your childhood self a thing or two about growing up? Would the knowledge you know now have saved you from learning things the hard way? It's Tough Growing Up: Children's Stories of Courage Marilyn Dalrymple and Joan Foor www.itstoughgrowingup.com Merry Christmas and
Happy New Year to all.
Marilyn: I would agree
that anyone connected with the Museum not be allowed to show any of their work
in a juried (prize awarded) show. I have been one of the judges for other
contests where awards are given to the winners. Even though the only thing we
could discern, as far as who the contestant was, was that it was a female
(voice) we selected as the winner the daughter of one of the lades that was
active in the organization. Sure enough, the rumors surfaced that it was
rigged.
I would shy away from
any, even the remotest, indication of any impropriety on the part of the judges
or the organization. I like your work and I am sure you have had and will have
many opportunities to show/sell your work. I just don't feel it is worth the
possibility that the name of the Museum/Gallery may be tarnished. Everyone
remembers the "bad" things but never the "good" things.
My two cents
Walter Mayes
