> >         When I placed the models upon the table to work on them, it was obvious that damage was done to the foresprit and rigging when someone removed these towels. A surgeon could not have been more careful than me on placing the towels to shield the ships from damage and it should have been up to me to remove them since I volunteered to refurbish these items.

> >         A member had concerns of the ships being removed off the table because she needed the table for Saturday. She called me and I was happy to go up to the Club to remove the models from the table. She took the correct action in not being responsible for their safety. If you had any concerns, you could have easily reached out to me by phone or email, and we could have discussed the precautionary measures I felt were necessary.  
> > 
> >         Your insistence in getting involved in a project without asking questions caused damage to these delicate donations. You fix it.
