This is very true, I must agree.
I know when these left town people were angry that they left Ohio.
Myself I thought it was cool because..
A, They were saved.
B, When kahiki items leave the state it spreads the Kahiki world wide.
C, I don't think at that time anybody here had the money or drive to do anything
with them.

Oh, after the fact there are always people who say we couldaa this, or we woulda that.
I would not have the one I have if it were not for my wife.
When they asked if I wanted that I said heck no.
My wife said we must get it, weird I know.
Well the time is now, WHO is going to save these?
I say that in five years from now they still sit where they are now.(hope I am wrong)
And yes Amys would be a great place for these!
She is a double A personality and gets things done.
No coulda, shoulda, woulda, with her.

Thanks Skip, and Jim, I actually sent Holden to see the fireplace when it was in storage over 3 years ago, Although I was scheduled to go to see all the stuff but my dad was sick and I canceled. Holden was kind enough to go for me. I know it was in poor shape back then and if I had been there I would have bought it. It has been moved to it's current location, and that move did more damage I was told.

If it can be moved to Ohio, that would be fitting, if it can't I will continue to watch and see if I can help
