Just how is asking for assurances the property won't be sold sniping? Ms. Smithson had it on the market less than two years ago...what changed?
And as for architects, I know only one, but he does specialize in historical restoration. For all I know, he may love what you've done...or he may not. It will be interesting to find out.
As far as helping, why does Ms. Smithson need all those volunteers? The admin of the Shoals Opinion Forum called her rich. Why should she need my help? I think I'll help those who've lost everything through no fault of their own.
