The leftist trash that runs Google hasn't got any reference to Pearl Harbor Day. Here's a link to click, a sort of FReep by which they may be sent a message. It will probably fall on deaf ears, but at least you'll feel better.

Ah yes, possession is 9/10 of the law!

There was a scandal in Milwaukee a few years ago. It seems that the Public Museum staff had dumped boatloads of artifacts into the Lake at various times over the last 75 years. At least that was what was charged. And the Art Museum sold off a lot of paintings and sculptures from the “permanent” collection to finance their new digs. At the time, the directors of both museums made noises about how they could not keep everything — that they had to make room for new acquisitions. I suppose they have a point, but they did not try to contact the donors, or their heirs, to ask if they would like their artifacts and art returned.

I decided right there that if I ever had anything that was worthy to collect that I would sell it myself, or give it to an interested relative rather than seek a museum home for it.

The same rule applies to the local library. They dump most books that are donated.

Say what you will about lawyers, but if this guy had seen one and done a proper written contract there would be no misunderstanding today.

OTOH, maybe this is a case of donor's remorse as the state is claiming, in which case it wouldn't have helped him.
