MAC is boring

I know this letter won’t do any good, but I want to express my disappointment at the firing of Forrest Rodgers from the Northwest Museum of Arts and Culture. I wrote a letter when he was hired to tell you how happy I was that he had been hired.

My family has visited the High Desert Museum many times. We loved the displays and I was looking forward to visiting the MAC again, hoping it would be much more interesting and hoping to see some of the things that have been in storage for such a long time.

But, no, it didn’t happen. I haven’t enjoyed going to the MAC since it left the Gonzaga University area. Frankly, I think it’s boring! It’s a dull, not-much-fun place to visit.

I suppose Rodgers didn’t do things the way the powers that be in Spokane wanted him to. Too bad some other museum’s gain is our loss.

I don’t suppose we’ll ever find out why he was terminated. The $10 fee to visit in Bend, Ore., was a lot more worth it than the $6 fee here.
