I think the conversation starter would be for Dallas to put the two
pictures together.  "Explore Minnesota"

Dallas,
Unfortunately I don’t recall ever seeing the print at any time. I hope
somebody secured it and that it shows up!

Hey Capri people,

Last spring I found and purchased, after a 25 year search, a print of the
iconic Explore MN helicopter poster of Ellie Jay sailing on a snowy day
with an Explore MN spinnaker. It was framed and matted in a 1980's vintage
style.

I left it at the clubhouse with the intent of donating it to fleet or club
to display in the clubhouse or be used as a fleet trophy of some sort.  I
left it against the wall in the south east corner of the building.

Then COVID shut down the clubhouse. Now it's gone.

My hope is that someone from the fleet took it for safe keeping, or for its
intended purpose of serving the fleet or club as a whole. My fear is that
someone took it for themselves, tossed it, or maybe it went out in Blake's
garage sale. Perhaps it's just stuffed in some back corner of the club I
couldn't find.

If you know the whereabouts, I would appreciate knowing. If the fleet or
club doesn't want it, I assure you I would like it back. I never even had a
chance to scan it digitally.

No questions asked,
dallas
