Dropped my bombshell suggestions at Executive Committee meeting about keeping lobby. Jack forbade me to speak to carpenters – and accused me of underhandedly going to Preservation Office over his head. I explained that I had only spoken to Jeff Winstell with regard to effect proposed lobby modification (moving pediments, installing doors in lobby) would have on National Register Nomination.
I also asked that lobby be cleared of piano – display racks, etc. Looks junky & makes poor first impression.
