If I were Olga Viso, I'd be upset and firing people over the recent building meltdown. Is it true the buildings climate control systems failed!? I read the “Off Center” page, ClassicEye.

Or try St. Louis; they got marina's! If you'll notice Walker fan's, nobody leaves comment's here as nobody reads' this "Off Center" page! What a shame! Is it indicative of the percentage of real art patrons in this city? The reason I pose this question loyal art people, is that the real percentage of art fans in this town is very small. Once you sift down through the beer-and-burger population at the legion of sports-bars, there is just a few left! Why? Because ART needs' a shot of adrenaline! In this town! We NEED ART BARS! There must be a way that Olga can reach everybody! If she gets' out there, on the scene, I think she can. Maybe she can be like an "art gladiator", and fight for fans in the great arena of Minneapolis extracurriculars! She must put together great talks and speeches for the schools, appear on public tv every week, get in the Mpls., Tribune at least once-a-month...even if she has to create a public disturbance to do it! Throw disguarded old art onto the street of Hennepin avenue. Olga I know you can pitch better than the Florida Marlins! Be fresh Olga! Geezzzz...the former head's of museums' in this town nobody knew. No pictures', no clue's as to who they are, or where! Mmm a mystery.

Funding for the Arts is coming under some very strong pressures. She is challenged with a nagging question of the times; do we need to fund the Walker when its Art is so out of touch with the rest of the population? Sort of the inversion of the " Let them eat cake,.." misquote. I trust that such a handsome person as Olga is well supported by another person of great character and strength, at least I hope so. I do not envy her her job. As a fellow citizen of the great state of Minnesota I humbly ask you to show respect for the office she commands at this critical time in the life of the institution that you and I both love and adore. jrl A little more respect for the office she holds is in order, Tom.
