Dear Linc,
We in the Colorado College Geology Dept would be pleased to provide a home
to the samples,
and to incorporate them in an educational display for public and student
access close to their point of origin.
We can cover costs of shipping, if ultimately a decision is reached to
return the suite to Colorado!
Christine
