Richard,

Contact the Milwaukee Public Museum.  A model giant squid resides there in
the Taxidermy studio (really!).  When I was Registrar there, the Exhibits
and Graphics department (E&G) would decorate the squid with strings of
lights for our annual Christmas party.  The tradition began many years ago
and to this day it is still known as the annual E&G Party.  Contact the
Exhibits and Graphics department (Jim Kelly) or Taxidermy (Floyd
Easterman).  I don't have the departmental numbers but you can call either
of these two gentlemen at 414/278-2702.  Tell 'em Henry sent ya!

Cheers
HBC
