Hi Sharon,
I've signed your petition - that would be a very interesting museum in addition to the personal value for those with loved ones who served on such ships. I also continue to admire your dedication even more than your prolific technical ability!
Cheers!
Steve

SHARON: Thanks! but it's not my idea. Retired Naval officers designed the petition and pushing for signatures. My Dad was a big supporter of their work, because he worked on the Minesweepers in the Navy. Dad had a lot of sentimental attachments to those wooden ships... and I have a lot of sentimental attachments to my Dad.
Here's a pic of one he worked on (it was scrapped for raw materials):
