Hair Today ... Conservative Loses Locks For Fundraising


Gehrer Alan was a bit stunned Monday and have a hard time finding its balance.

No, it was not a medical problem.

The Audubon Museum curator had cut long hair, leaving it feeling a little unbalanced as the wind blew through his, uh, the scalp.

The remaining hair is not as short, but it's a big change for Alan, that began growing in 2009 so he can portray the legendary wildlife artist John James Audubon in the bicentennial celebration of the Last year the arrival of the painter in Henderson.

He had become very close (no pun intended) for the hair silky, natural attractions and, in general, wearing a ponytail when not channeling Audubon.

Monday cut represented a victim of this power of Audubon, who supervised the collection of millions of dollars of museum objects and paintings in almost six years.

In the center of WSON radio studio of the station, where the number of people who watch the industry delivered haircut from a local beautician Dana Thomas to fulfill the promise made earlier this year.

Alan said that when he raised $ 1,000 to launch the new museum "take a picture" conservation program for financing the collection, would have his hair cut in a public place.

This money is only the beginning of goal much, much broader, covering the cost of conservation for Audubon to print each throated Hummingbird Plate No. 47 of the artist's "Birds of America" ​​and also to maintain July 1 1819, documents relating to the legal problems of Audubon in Henderson.

The year 1819 was the Audubon family ends their stay here and start a new chapter in their lives.

Alan, who donated his hair shaved or national blockade of love or a similar program in Kentucky that provides human hair wigs to children who have lost their hair due to a chronic disease, hopes to raise money as possible to the estimated 500 000 - at a cost of $ 750 000 for cleaning and repairing items in the collection for posterity.

Scholarships are actively sought, but it is an integral part of individuals, families, businesses or organizations to accept a painting or a document to be saved.

Donations of any amount is appreciated and can be sent to: Friends of Audubon, "Adopt a Painting", PO Box 576, Henderson, Kentucky, 42419.

Alan says he will miss his generous, especially this winter, but some personal Audubon State Park, frankly, it's good to go.

"Everyone likes to 100 percent better," said one of his colleagues.

Sorry, Alan.
