Tom, great to hear this - I tried to start a museum with the City Council of Salt Lake in 1997/98 - got all the contacts and agreements with the Capital in Salt Lake......and than was a special question about my religios status - from there on I never heard something anymore - which was a real frustration after 1 1/2 year work. The idea was to use a place which was used for the winter olympics - got the people who was interest to run them as volunteers - retired people who was involed in speed racing in the sixties.
 Wish the new attempt a better success.
 
 See ya
