Re: [Discuss] Save the Pegasus

Otis! That is an excellent thing! I will see if we can get metal donated and maybe get different alumni welders do the work on it! Disd said budget was the reason for no move so if we can resolve that we are doing great!

It does indeed make a great story for Observer, i can get that ball rolling and get everyone a heads up.

Thanks

Hello all, 

We may have a solution for this problem. I called Robert Cooper, class of 84, and asked if he could help. His family, including Sean Cooper '89, runs Allied Fences. 

We just spoke, and they are willing to provide equipment and transportation. We need to provide manpower, and secure permission from DISD. ( unless everyone's down for a covert operation under the cover of darkness!!! ) 

When i told him how much DISD wanted, his response was "Are you %$#^ing kidding me?" 
So, we may be able to save the $$ for supporting student activities. 

And yes, i agree this makes for a great story in the observer or DMN. Arts Alumni pulling together to save Pegasus. 

Ean, can you provide Robert with directions on how to join this list? 
I have current photos of Pegasus, can i upload them to the list or somewhere for all to see?

Last word from DISD, they will do it but need the $$$ to fund the project. I know Erik has looked into alternatives and see what people can/will do for free/cheap. I know we have alum contacts at the Observer and DMN. The Memorial Day Weekend '09 will mainly go towards 'flying the Pegasus home'. 
I'm looking forward to the update at tonight's meeting!

Count me in too!! I think that a lot of the community would also back us up on this, not just alumni... do we have any connections in the DMN or Observer that would wright a few lines about this? 

I know there are those out there that actually helped building Pegasus with Mr. Daniels... Class of '86 and before I think? I just missed out on being a part of the project. 

We really need to all come together on this and make sure that DISD doesn't pull any crap and go back on their word also.

Sara I think you absolutely right for the next steps. Getting everyone involved is key! 

1. Get the kids and parents involved. If we got all parents to donate just 20 bucks, that would be a huge help. 
2. Get a cause on facebook or maybe a paypal account? and have all alum donate whatever they can. *Ean can you get info on what we need to do*. 
3. I am going to see how commercial metals might be able to help. They have been the supplier for scrap metal to the sculpture dept since for ever. 

Loosing the Pegasus is a very real threat and it is very typical of Dallas to erase every bit of history that it has to replace it with something less than what it was. 

We can't drag our heals on this. I would recommend that all alumni that have ideas on this, pick up the cause and fight for our history. 

I will report to everyone on this.

Sign me up! I am ready to help keep the Pegasus and get it moved back to it's rightful place. 

I also know of many current students that will offer their support along with their parents - they may be new to the school's history, but they are dedicated to preserving their time too. 

So, what's the next step?
