My Grandmother is old and decrepit, like the Amp. I want to replace her with something new, but still resembols her. Will she still be my Grandma?

My family lived in Chautauqua from 1961-2000. Many of my childhood memories revolve around the pool and all the lower end of the park offered. To destroy that amp would be a travesty to the history of such a wonderful place!

It would be a shame to have such an important part of the Institution. It would be a shame to have it torn down.

It is time to restore and to preserve, instead of demolishing and modernizing.

The Amp simply should be preserved for the sake of its Historical Posterity alone but it Must be preserved to save Chautauqua's very soul. If the collective establishment proceeds with demolition then it will portend its own destiny in the process. For a more visionary pathway into the 21st century, please contact Brian Berg or Tom Becker for a copy of my letter to Tom Becker dated 2/20/2015.

I favor a plan that pays appropriate tribute to the original and beautiful design and construction effort of the ampitheater.
