Sounds great

Say John, I never know whether to call you John or Hoser, so I'll stick with John. It sounds like a great museum, and the next time I'm in Oregon, I'll have to take a peek.

All the best,

If ya ever saw a 5'6" 150 lb. 22 year old running a 12" by himself,ya know why I got the river name Hoser.Looks like a flea on a elephants trunk(cleaned up version)Anyhow some stinking dogs robbed the bloody museum in the night and tore it up.Great project and miners pride desecrated!!!)(*&^%$# John

That is sickening John. With any luck the perps will be caught and a little natural justice handed out. Just so's you know,Canucks were originally refered to as hosers because of the toques. I think it was the "McKenzie Bros" comedy team that started it. Fred

A toque(touque?) is that funny looking hockey stocking looking thing with a pom-pom on top that all Canucks allegedly wear in the winter. Geez John,your education is really lacking! LOL Fred
