Well big surprise, it's not opening this summer. Wonder why? Journey hasn't raised enough money auctioning off Lucy's originals? ????

How much/many exhibits and materials do they have for the NCC?

 

Gregg:  WISH I KNEW 'someone' who actually KNOWS: and will talk; see my comments/concerns re October RUN; comments regarding Chautauqua connection; etc.  Your QUESTION above is a VERY GOOD ONE; thanks for doing it; I would also like to hear more from TAYLOR, who knows 'something' about Journey auctioning off treasures should have been kept in archive....

 

I'm STILL CONCERNED....Loving you, JK :fabrary:

I don't know anything about Journey auctioning off Lucy's stuff other than what came out a few years ago. I have my suspicions about the woman as someone told me Journey is doing the same stuff but on the down low and that she's not to be trusted, but I can't prove anything. She definitely doesn't have Lucy's legacy in mind. She's all about rubbing elbows with the rich and famous and being associated with modern comics.

Hmmmm... will that end up in the Chronology too?? Should make an interesting chapter! :peachonthebeach:

 

NONE OF IT!!!! 

 

I promised Lucie, and stand on it; no SMUT in the chronology....enough said; and I keep my promises.

 

It's just that, even though ONLY a VOLUNTEER, although a nearly full-time one for nearly 5 years, [from 10/2002-7/2007, I WAS one of the 'FORMERS' [a name I dreamed up] who went on-line to 'talk' to those who were lied to about circumstances surrounding the inner-working of the Center at the time (2005 & beyond and leading up to the GREAT FIRE); giving each who chose a chance to give testimony.

 

We were given the opportunity by a benefactor, who chooses to remain anonymous, and I agreed to put myself 'out there' with my name; was sent $$ by messenger to put my name on the website which was set up in our name; boy, did that ever get me in a pickle and a near-world of HURT!!!!  But, a ton of the TRUTH as WE KNEW it was on line over a year.

 

I don't regret a minute of it; sometimes the truth hurts......  :fabrary:

Thanks, Taylor, luv!

 

I get the feeling I'm viewed as less-than-knowledgeable lately; my memory is still with me; and what many of my friends, paid employees; and other volunteers, suffered during the reign of you-know-who.  Others in charge were also capable of underhandedness in the ensuing years; perhaps that why Wanda was in discontent!

 

Paid, er, compensated for her appearance. :fabrary:

Joyce,

that last part kinda bothers me, so what if she's paid to come to the festivals? I doubt anyone else is doing it for nothing; at the very least, they're likely having their expenses (i.e. travel, hotel, meals) covered and why shouldn't they?  Maybe I'm missing something here but to most life-long fans (and being a big personal fan of The Lady herself, having met her first when I was a "kid" in my 20s!), having Wanda Clark's (continued) participation and involvement in these events should certainly be considered a draw, if not a coup! 

 

Yup.... always loved Wanda, always will! :lucycoy:

Checked with MY source; given bad info by the 'other' one; Wanda was here May, 2009 (following year of GREAT FIRE); arrdubya, interviewee, apparently!!!; and once again, in August, 2013.....  JK :fabrary:
