My own collection of Furry art -- paintings by Steve Gallacci, Terrie Smith, Fara Shimbo, Chuck Melville, Vicky Wyman, Steve Martin, Jerry Collins, Ken Fletcher, Dave Garcia, Bryce Nakagawa, Susan Van Camp, Deal Whitley, Michele Light, Ken Pick, Pat Kelly, and other Furry artists from the 1980s to when I had my stroke in 2005 -- has been promised to the University of California at Riverside Library when I die. A Furry museum is a wonderful dream, but I would want a practical guarantee in its permanence before I trusted it as a home for my paintings.
