Subject: Independent Poll, Griffith Observatory's Best and Worst Directors.


Hi,

I'm taking an un-official poll of ex-employees of the Griffith
Observatory. Please vote for one only.

Best director:

Dinsmore Alter

Clarence Clemenshaw

Bill (Billy Jerk) Kaufman

Ed Krupp.

Worst Director:

Dinsmore Alter

Clarence Clemenshaw

Bill (Billy Jerk) Kaufman

Ed Krupp.

To vote, it is required that you worked for the Griffith Observatory
part or full time for one month or more from 1933 to 2000. You need to
explain why you voted the way you did.

You also need to tell us if you will pay for the bus ride to the new
G. O. or if you will walk up the hill or if you will blow the whole
thing off and do something fun on the weekend, likr going to the
movies.

It is expected that votes will be for the best and the worst with full
horror stories as an option. You may post by name or not.

I'd like to also congratulate the guy who burned Ed Krupp's hamburger
candle in 1974 because I did not have the guts to do it myself and
hats off the person who tore the door off the employees ladies rest
room after Ed band its use by part time employees. It was not me
because I had quit two months before out of put frustration. I'd buy
them both a beer if I knew who they were.

I also want to congratulate Bill Kaufman for ejecting the Los Angeles
Astronomical Society from its shops in the G.O. 's basement. It really
showed what a true jerk and ass hole he was.

Yes, Bill has ascended (or hopefully decended) to a different plane of
existence. I guess attempting to have sex with most of the female
employees of the G.O. plus getting caught with his hand in the petty
cash cookie jar buy the Department of Parks and Recreation and
spending a year on paid leave (taxpayers!) wore his sorry ass out
before its time.

Subject: 93 million dollars, Griffith Observatory


The city of Los Angeles blew 93 million dollars on a revamp of the G.
O..

In order to get this back they will need to get 4.5 million human
beings to spend $20.00 each to go see what Ed Krupp did to the G. O.

There are only about 9 million humans in L.A. and only about half of
them are litterate in English.

Can you imagine how much of that 93 mill went into the hands of the
crooks that run L.A. ?
