ENDOWMENT: Internet II website and archive--for ongoing use and future necessary upgrades.  DESIGN: Creation and publishing of individual 'pages' for EVERY WASP. 

Total funding needed for the completion (and continuation) of the Wings Across America Digital Archive--including an online VIRTUAL MUSEUM, is  $1,500,000.  WHY?  Because technology changes--along with the sheer man (and woman) hours needed to edit and design cutting edge pages for each WASP.

This is the funding needed to give EVERY WASP the opportunity to participate (presently, there are less than 300 surviving WASP).  Actual costs may be less depending on the final number of WASP who participate. Every WASP is over 85 years old.

Naming opportunities $200,000 to establish the digital museum or video archives,  to  $300,000 to establish one digital kiosk.
