Uncle Hal was a foot shorter and fifty pounds lighter than Aunt Helen. They were
fighting over maps and directions in the car, as sometimes happens. Exasperated,
he said “Just who the hell is driving this car?” To which she calmly replied:

The board, and the managing director, cannot run the institution we propose to
build without help. Ultimately, success hangs on our ability to find really compe-
tent people and get them involved. Creatives are an ornery lot! We have to dele-
gate sectors of our effort to people who are competent to administer them. Running
an organization of the kind we envision is a formidable task. We not only need
that million dollars; ultimately we need quite a few millions to be an effective insti-
tution trying to turn the economy of a region around. Nothing stifles creativity and
hope in the possible any faster than “great idea, but we can’t afford it.” But the
money without the support of people willing to lend organizational and practical
abilities, will not be as effectively used as it might be, and we, the instigators of this
process, want it to be efficiently run. So, If you don‘t think of yourself as creative,
but have people skills, and business skills, we need you just as badly as money to
work with. Building an organization, that can direct the flow of creative genius we
are about to unleash, is the first thing we would do if we had a million dollars.
