Rewriting history
In a somewhat nonsensical response to an editorial in the Sierra Vista Herald, the AHS has attempted to defend its senseless destruction of the mineral museum. Not surprisingly, the response is filled with with misinformation and a distortion of history.

Will the Governor listen to the children?
Children, along with teachers, parents, and grandparents, sent letters and emails to Governor Ducey in early 2015. They also made phone calls to request support for SB1200 (Mineral Museum Restoration). They were very disappointed when the Governor vetoed the bill.
There were a lot of bills, and there was little time before the end of the Legislative session. The Governor could not possibly give individual attention to every bill. However, he did not veto that many bills. Before he vetoed SB1200, why did he only listen to AHS lobbyists? In view of the overwhelming bipartisan support for the bill in the Legislature, why did he not communicate with at least one supporter of mineral museum restoration?
Perhaps the story has to be taken to the people of Arizona, so that the people can make it even more clear that they want a mineral museum rather than entertainment center for lobbyists. An excellent article by reporter Elizabeth Stuart of the New Times summarizes the current situation. The link to the story is as follows:

Who are the Friends of the AZ Historical Society?
The March 24th post presented a document purportedly from the Friends of the AZ Historical Society. The March 29th and April 10th posts provide detailed rebuttals of the statements in that document.
A copy of the April 10th rebuttal was sent to the address shown for the Friends of the AZ Historical Society (101 N. 1st Ave, Phoenix) by USPS (snail mail). It came back with a notation of: "return to sender, not at this address."
The information in the Friends of the AZ Historical Society document was either misinformation or a lie, depending upon the knowledge of the writer.

Why the mineral museum must be reopened
The Arizona Historical Society cannot understand the value of the mineral museum. They are determined to replace it with an entertainment center. How will a lounge for lobbyists help Arizona?
The members of the AHS should consider some questions about the fututre:
Would they like the lights to come on when they flip the switch?
Would they like to own another new car someday, or would they just as soon learn to ride a horse?
Do they like the internet, or would they prefer to go back to using paper, quill pen, and pony express?
The link below describes a shortage of economic geologists that may eventually jeopardize our economy and lifestyle. Where will future economic geologists come from if K-12 students do not have an opportunity to be exposed to mineral science education programs?
