The Ward Museum move has stirred strong opposition even as Salisbury University pushes forward with relocating the wildfowl art collection to the Powell Building in downtown Salisbury. And, the Justice for Gavin Initiative has brought the ire of the Ocean Pine Association. Host Don Rush talks with Salisbury Independent newspaper editor and general manager Greg Bassett and Coastal Point reporter and a contributor to the Salisbury Independent Susan Canfora. In addition, a conversation with Rich Smoker, former chair of the Ward Museum Foundation Board of Directors and a local decoy carver, about the relocation of the Museum by Salisbury University.
