Art museum dealings
The Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco — the de Young and the Legion of Honor — suffer from having a very powerful, wealthy philanthropist, Dede Wilsey, as board president for nearly 20 years ["Profit Motif," July 19]. Wilsey's son Trevor Traina is also on the board, which resembles a herd of sheep in its passivity and unquestioned allegiance to her. The museums are currently without a permanent director, as it is understandably difficult to recruit capable people given the situation.
