Dear Members of the List,
A friend sent me this story and I thought it might be of interest here. Various online reports seem conflicting, but the guts of this story seem to be:
The University of Louisiana at Monroe, due to a reported decline in interest and funding, and in order to expand its track and field facilities, is considering destroying its natural history collection of 6 million fish specimens and approximately 500,000 plant specimens if another, suitable home is not found, quickly.
Sincerely,
Martin Hartzold, bookseller
