<P mce_keep="true"><FONT face=verdana,geneva>Quincymine,</FONT></P> <P mce_keep="true"><FONT face=verdana,geneva>I saw the snow plow leave Hancock in 1975, and I saw the recent photographs showing it as a pile of iron parts due to the nearly complete decomposition of the wood. Since this plow was a highly historic piece, who is responsible for not stipluating that the plow be stored under cover in NJ?</FONT></P> <P mce_keep="true"><FONT face=verdana,geneva>The plow could be restored. All it would require is the woodwork and the detailed knoweldge of the assembly. While it may be more or less just a pile of iron right now, there is still much valuable information of how it was assembled embodied in that pile. Once the pile is picked up and moved, there will be a greater loss of resource in the form of lost assembly knowledge than what was was lost in the form of wood decay.</FONT></P> <P mce_keep="true"><FONT face=Verdana>I suggest giving some deep thought to this before scooping up that iron from the plow. Once you do that, the plow will be gone. As bad as it looks now, it is quite restorable.</FONT></P>
