#26 – The Museum’s Resurrection
Sunday, June 11th, 2006
A chill was in the air, the leaves changing color and the children were lining up to meet their morning school busses. It was September 2005, and an idea that I had been so passionate about for so many years was bubbling up again. To my drawing pad I went, madly illustrating various displays meant to capture and wow any who walked through the museum’s doors. The idea for the Lost World Museum, like the phoenix of old, was rising again. Building on years of visioning and scribbled notes, refined by our Bibleland Studios experience, I was much more realistic and better prepared to formulate a plan to bring a material realization to the myriads of thoughts on paper. A portfolio was beginning to be assembled. Once completed, step two would entail presenting the project’s portfolio to people of means for their review. The Museum was no longer 500 million dollars but several million, which would require the help of many small donations or a few people who saw the value and could respond at a substantial level. The problem was I had no friends or acquaintances that were millionaires. I, like most, are a humble bumble with humble bumble friends and a very big and costly dream.
