Foundation publicity states..Lutcher and Nelda would be pleased.. with the current Shangri La project is just the opposite of the truth. If either could arise from the grave, all involved would be terminated for these actions. Nature should be appreciated and enjoyed, not developed! Money could have been spent on scholarships, not digging holes to throw money in.....Plus, WOCISD pays the Stark Foundation $40000 for providing this educational experience "for the kids."

"A Sleeping Dog" by Gerrit Dou, signed and dated "GDov. 1650" was purchased by Mrs. H J Lutcher Stark (Mrs. Nita Hill Stark) December 7, 1927. On May 25, 2005 "Christie's" sold this at auction for $4.72 million for the Nelda C and H J Lutcher Stark Foundation. Nita Hill Stark died in 1939, sole beneficiaries of her estate were twin sons Homer and Bill Stark. This painting was not listed in her estate inventory, yet found in the inventory of H J L Stark in 1965. I guess a Mother's last will means nothing if she doesn't take inventory? Executor of her estate was H J Lutcher Stark.......

" Of course, they don't really have an inventory of what Nita Stark gathered over the years.....It took me a few moments to catch on to his real purpose,but I don't think I told him anything that matters. "--Julie Schimmel, former employee of Nelda C and H J Lutcher Stark Foundation

"In a presentation Thursday night at the Stark Museum Education Center, Neff outlined the benefits of the relationship between the two instituions. She told of one of her colleagues who compared the MFAH to a large agricultural business and the Stark Museum to a tomato farmer; the Houston museum features the art of all world cultures, while the Stark Museum specializes in the art of the American West."--Orange Leader, July 22, 2007......... The original collection was mostly"European Art" started by Mr & Mrs W H Stark late 1800's to early 1900's. Their son H J Lutcher Stark and his first wife, Nita Hill Stark, continued this, but also started collecting Western Art from 1911 to 1939. The purpose of the Museum was to display "all the art, not sell it"..... "The Dog" and 191 other paintings were sold to anonymous buyers during the "Old Masters" Auction at Christie's Galleries at Rockefellar Center, New York, May 25, 2005 for over $6.5 Million.....

In 1927, H J Lutcher Stark traveled to the Middle East with his wife, Mrs. Nita Hill Stark and twin sons Bill and Homer-4 years old. They spent several months touring and collecting. This collection was sold in 1986 by the Nelda C and H J Lutcher Stark Foundation to the San Antonio Museum of Art, "which brought to the Museum a veritable wealth of ancient decorative arts, notably glass vessels and bronzes.....important Egyptian antiquities."... Mrs Nita purchased most of this, but none listed in her estate inventory after her death in 1939. Sole beneficiaries were her two sons, Homer and Bill Stark.....

Homer H Stark was given a Ford Model "T" Roadster by his parents, Nita Hill & H J Lutcher Stark at their Colorado Ranch. Married for 28 years, "Mrs. Nita" died in 1939. After WWII, Lutcher Stark offered to transport the Roadster "truck" and hupmobile to Orange for his son Homer and store it for him. When Lutcher Stark died in 1965, his third wife, Nelda C Stark offered to do the same. After Nelda's death in 1999, the Stark Foundation said they don't have Homer's truck, only this "roadster".

H J Lutcher Stark purchased extensive holdings in Cameron Parish in 1918 (after marriage to Nita Hill in 1911) and made significant improvements (canals, etc.) but none listed in her estate. Sabine Wildlife Refuge sold before she died, but they retained mineral interests..None show in her inventory.
Joyce Tract transfer--"a tax free distribution"...Mr McDonough and I had in mind that Mr Stark could possibly turn in stock for the purchase price. Since the company would obviously make a profit we had in mind declaring a $1,000,000.00 dividend and practically all the stock would again be owned by Mr Stark.

H J Lutcher Stark died in 1965. The beneficiary of his life insurance policy at time of his death was his first wife Nita Hill Stark, who died before him at a young age, thus making the legatees of her estate the sole beneficiaries (twin sons, Homer and Bill Stark). That did not occur. Clyde V McKee wrote to the insurance company and changed the beneficiary to Nelda C Stark. Who's watching your policy?

ROBERTSON V PRINCETON--Filed in 2002, Robertson v. Princeton University is perhaps the largest "donor intent" lawsuit in U.S. history and one of the most important legal cases to affect charitable giving in many decades. The outcome of the lawsuit will likely define "donor intent" in the 21st century ....Without strict adherence to "donor intent", the trustees could use the gift for "whatever they think is best".... In Texas, the Attorney General is intrusted with oversight of Public Charities. The purpose of the Stark Museum is to display the Stark Collection , not sell it (Sleeping Dog).... Who is watching the Attorney General? Internal Affairs?....
