What is old is new again. Shades of when the dilettantes took over the
Roanoke Transportation Museum and hired a phony director who ran off the
volunteers. The Flood of '85 didn't help (but did cover up the theft of a
lot of loaned artifacts) nor did hiring additional shady directors. It has
taken years to recover and there are still some hard feelings in the
community over the ouster of people who put a lot into the museum.
