Re: The real National Vietnam War museum

I am not making any accusations but that guy Kopitke seems to have a history- and a quonset does not a serious museum make. This is from a Honolulu Star Bulletin story dated Sunday, May 29, 2005 . Maybe if he does not like the way the "museum" is run in NE he can take his "toys" (Donated artifacts) and go to another town. It appears he has done it before.

"Kamaunu said that her efforts have been hampered by the short-lived Korean War Museum that closed after five months last September because its founder, Kyle Kopitke, became embroiled in a tangle of accusations and a financial dispute with his sister-in-law over the Quonset hut that housed the museum in Wahiawa.

However, unlike Kopitke, who was seeking donations of military artifacts, Kamaunu said she is starting off with a site that has historical significance in Hawaii's military history. "I am also willing to donate valuable artifacts," she added, referring to medical supplies now housed in 89 crates that would support a 200-bed Army mobile hospital unit that her husband bought for nearly $7,000 in 1999 just before he died.
