There are false rumors/accusations being spread about Cherryl Meggs that she was charged and found guilty of ehics charges over buying a $40 box from an estate that Ipat was interested in. She never approached that estate until after the donor asked for Cherryl directly!
Cherryl was not guilty and any non-biased jury in the United States would find her innocent on the following evidence:
1. A donor offered Ipat a punchbowl. Ipat declined. That is all Ipat was offered!
2. He then requested to be put in touch with Cherryl Meggs and Rosemarie Radmaker. he asked for Cherryl and Rosemarie after he offered one piece to Ipat only and Ipat declined that piece.!!!!
3. Tana Parks wanted to see what was still available in the estate china items so asked him about other pieces they had.
4. He sent the link to both Tana and Cherryl.
5. Tana selected 2 item and asked for them for Ipat. She did not ask for the 3 Hilda Palmer rose boxes as Tana says china painted roses are “old lady roses.”
6. He agreed that would probably be possible for the 2 pieces Tana asked for.
7. Cherryl saw the Hilda boxes on the inventory and suggested The 3 Hilda-boxes…but when telling Tana about them ….Cherryl asked Tana if she could buy one. Tana said, “No problem, but wait to see what he was going to do, first.”. Cherryl did not have to obey Tana. She was asked by the donor to be put in contact with him! See #2 above.
8. Cherryl contacted Him and he said he would talk to his family. Later they sold one of the 3 (same subject and same color boxes) to Cherryl for $40.
9. After he sold a box to Cherryl, Tana asked for it along with several other items as a “requested list” in an email and wrote that she knew that the family might not send all of them. He did not tell her he had sold the box to Cherryl.
10. He sent the remaining items to Ipat with no promises nor packing list.
11. Celeste knew he had sold a box to Cherryl because Cherryl showed a photo of it to her after he mailed it to Cherryl.. Paula knew nothing about any of that nor what was asked for from the estate by Tana…. because she was packing up her house 300 miles away. She was never involved in emails concerning any of it. Yet, Tana Parks misled and falsely accused her of knowing about this…which is a lie. Paula knew nothing about this.
12. When the Ipat donation arrived, Tana asked if all was there and made the trip. Celeste said yes because she knew there were only two boxes of Hilda’s sent with the donation and Tana had said Cherryl could have one of the 3. There was no promised list and no confirmation nor packing list arriving with the boxes. They were subsequently photographed and put into months-later magazines. Tana also viewed the 2 newly donated boxes along with 3 other Hilda Palmer boxes inside the Museum cabinets. Never had a problem with only two 2 boxes in the cases nor only 2 picured in the magazines.
13. Months later, Suzanne Painter asks the office where the 3rd box from Tana’s original “requested” list was. Paula had no idea what Tana was talking about. Letha Sandifer and Celeste knew it had been purchased by Cherryl.
14. Paula called Letha and Letha said Celeste told her that Cherryl bought it. Paula thought that might just be gossip as she had no proof…and no first hand knowledge. nor a final list nor packing slip.
15. Tana submitted an ethics accusation against Cherryl. Inquiry was held, and in her defense , Cherryl emailed the donor and told him that Tana falsely accused her ….and he emailed her back saying it was the family’s and his decision on what to send to whom …(that he had not promised to Ipat all that Tana requested….in other words.). SUMMARY: The donor never promised Ipat Tana’s entire requested list. And after his initial offering of the punchbowl to Ipat, he had immediately asked for Cherryl. He wanted china to go to people who loved the pieces.
Three people found Cherryl guilty of using her position to usurp getting that 3rd box. Just the opposite was true…Tana usurped Cherry and Rosemarie ….whom he ASKED For.
before he sent the website showing the other items to Tana and Cherryl. Cherryl was the Museum Committee Chairman and the committee should have chosen pieces. But Tana never allows committees to make decisions if it involved choosing aquisitions. Cherryl didn’t trust Tana because Cherryl showed Tana a plate on ebay which the museum should purchase, but Tana said no.. Then Tana bought it for herself.
Bottom line..
Tana said Cherryl could buy one.
He asked for Cherryl first ….and it was Tana who usurped Cherry and Rosemarie.
He got Ipat’s requested list from Tana, but said in an email that it was up to his family and him to make final decions of what to give to whom.
Cherryl was not guilty and any non-biased jury in the United States would find her innocent on the following evidence:
