The decision by Salisbury University to move the contents of the Ward Museum to downtown has been criticized by longtime supporters of the museum. Delmarva Public Media's Don Rush talked with Rich Smoker, former chair of the Ward Foundation's Board of Directors and a local decoy carver, about why he believes it is financially feasible to save the building. The full interview can be heard on Delmarva Today this Friday at noon on WSDL and WESM.

Don Rush is the News Director and Senior Producer of News and Public Affairs at Delmarva Public Media. An award-winning journalist, Don reports major local issues of the day, from sea level rise, to urban development, to the changing demographics of Delmarva.
