I think Mr. Levin makes an excellent suggestion and I hope one of the preservationists involved in this exchange will follow up and contact the Chairman to see if he'd be willing to act as an "honest broker" in this unfortunate situation!
I'm afraid it may well be far too late for that knowing the glacial speed that most things "preservation" happen at, but as Bennett says-what's to lose!
If nothings done we know that in one day less than a month the scrappers torch will begin its irreversible deed!
