After using up my two posts yesterday while demonstrating my technological incompetence I just wanted to add a bit to Eva's post about the MPRB and their impending deal with SkipperLiner. The figures that Ass't Superintendent Siggelkow used when ASSUMING they will make approx. $1 million over the next 10 years was based on the highest amount ever received during a single year with Padelford ($36,278). The average of the five years they were on Boom Island was $6,000 less and the lowest year was $11,000 dollars less. I also noticed he didn't mention the gangway at Bohemien Flats which will run the MPRB $50,000 and that much again if they open a landing at the Mill Ruins Site. I guess he uses the same math they do in the White House (yes, I know it's not in Minneapolis).
Eva also mentioned the "Wirth While Weekend" being sponsored by the Minneapolis Parks Legacy Society on June 18th, 19th and 20th. I hope that the MPRB and the MRPA will be as cooperative as they can in helping make it an event that honors the man who made the Minneapolis Parks the standard to meet. It was an honor for me to meet Ted Wirth the grandson of Theodore Wirth at the Board meeting and I hope to meet more of the Wirth decendants when the are here from around the world in June.
