[edit] Homer Groening

Matt Groening's dad was co-founder of this museum.[1] Worth a mention and a DYK, I think. Katr67 00:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Done and done. Thanks for the link. You do know you can nominate articles too (even one's you didn't start), that way you can earn the fabulous new WPOR service awards for DYKs! Aboutmovies 03:18, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reason for the closure?

The article mentions that the museum closed in 2004, but doesn't say why it closed. Did the museum give a reason at the time? --Delirium 06:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunetly the closure didn't make the local newspaper. An article in December of 2004 about one of the founders said it was closed. My guess would be lack of attendence/funding. Aboutmovies 14:40, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
