Big gift!

Post by nighttrain » Tue Sep 12, 2017 3:47 am

Hopefully the link works. It's a story I had heard of about one heck of a donation of a large collection. I live not far from Frisco, and the latest word is that they hope to have it all relocated and on display by Christmas.
While I agree with many that bigger is not always better (tough words to get out from a Texan!), the beauty of this display is that it is the story of their life and the places they have been through the years.

Nice to hear that it was donated and not ripped up and sold off, but i wish they didn’t do a 360deg video of it, much better to have panned around it.

Hope loads of people get to see it and they get inspired by it.

Nice to see that the collection is staying together.
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
