EMAIL DETAILS

Hunter,

Thanks. I never had the pleasure of knowing Shane. And I should have thought of Dennis although I am long out of touch with him.

Eric's follow up email is correct; for now, the project seems focused on events with a awareness for things political. But my sense is that it could evolve quickly to include the fundraising aspect too. The whole purpose of the events is to help generate significant, multi-million, fundraising to renovate a two-century old house and make it a sustainable and functioning archive and library.

If you have a number or email for Dennis, I would be very pleased to get his advice.

Many thanks!

Rob

I need to get back to Steve on this in a day or so. Do you have any connections or leads from your days with the politicos, or can you research this with some of your old friends ASAP?
