High culture just got cheaper

You can almost visualize it.  Hundreds of families lining up to get into the Portland Art Museum, the first few pressing against the glass at the ticket counter.  When from the back of the room strides a local couple . . . they wave everyone inside, crack open their wallet and say “We got it.”

OK, maybe it didn’t happen quite like that, but a $1 Million donation by Robert and Sharon Miller will cover admission for every family at the museum four Sundays a year.  

This isn’t the first donation made by the couple but certainly the largest.  Word is some kids questioned why they couldn’t donate the million to Chuk E Cheese or Oaks Park.
