And that's what this whole hypocrisy boils down to with ole McG' : He tolerates that sneak thief and conquestor, yet disenfranchises a dedicated and reliable preservationist at heart such as I am, one who contributed substantially out of pocket, one who made every trip for every Saturday work date they had up there, one who singlehandedly took on a tedious and unpleasant assignment one hot Saturday in May: the task of grinding down the floor of the R-16 , and bought tools and parts for that job. I got all messy with paint while working on the roof of that long-neglected Low-V. I even painted the headlamps on the roof of the Low-V in neon orange to give that car a nice, illuminated look. I persuaded Harold Greenblatt and the others to carry an old trolley pole that was just lying around in the yard for what must have been many years into the storage container in the yard - it was so heavy, it took four or five of us to lug it with great difficulty into the bin.I worked with dedication and commitment with Garces to design and print the Westinghouse cab logos and the MTA side decals. When Garces posted on Facebook this year that they needed an old school set of MTA decals that were "impossible to find" it was I who leapt to the forefront to volunteer the cost and work creating this logo. Nobody else did. McGinty wanted some "Please Keep Hands Off The Doors" stickers for the inside of the R-16. One member volunteered to create them but never did. That was empty talk. I would have done the job of creating those inside door decals, but I was busy with the other decals, and also with some personal matters that made that additional project impossible to complete at that particular time. So to accuse me, of all people, of theft after the trust I demonstrated and the willingness to contribute to TMNY is really unfortunate. It is unfortunate too, in yet another sense: that such misguided and erroneous reasoning prevails in other museum matters. You see the results: rust, neglect, and worse. |
