First... Look on the California State Secretary of State's Business Search and you'll find the Christian Way Baptist Church Corporation as an active nonprofit.

2nd. Gary Lund, "IS" the president of the Sutherlin area Chamber of Commerce. He also has land that he has offered to store museum items on; and by March, several OTM items will be relocated there.

As for the $20. million. The Yamhill County Museum had 12 acres donated to them; and it's costing them $20 million to build their museum on it; and it's in a couple of "metal" building.

I can look in a number of phone books and not find every church listed; nor will I find every business listed. The poster of information about me and OTM did only minimal looking to find information. The Christian Way Baptist Church Corporation is also listed with the IRS as an IRS approved nonprofit. Please verify my statement, before you believe the person. Some people have alterior motives in trying to stop a movement. He may belong to another museum, or want to open one himself, of just likes creating problems. I do know that if he keeps posting false information, or information he "barely" tried to verify, I will turn the matter over to an attorney; and everyone then will see whose "crazy". It won't be me.

The reason we did not open in Sheridan, is due to way too excessive insurance reqauirements by the property owner, allowing us to use his land. Until recently he would not even allow volunteers on his land without the excessive insurance. Now if they sign a injury/death waiver, he'll allow them.

Anyone wanting to see the thousands upon thousands of artifacts and historical documents I have purchased with my own funds, for display at OTM can call me; and I'll gladly show them to you. As for the Mayor of Sutherlin, when I talked to him two months, he still tells me that he wants OTM to come to the Sutherlin area with OTM.

With the economy as it is today (Jan 2009), advancing OTM is on temporary hold; although this past week alone, I've purchased additional items for OTM.

I will be happy to discuss OTM and any of his claims with anyone; during reasonable hours. Below is my cell phone number for you to call me with. Don Kirk (541) 570-5277
