Hi Donna and other Museum-Lers:

Just an addition to your message about A.M. (Albert) Brooking.

Actually, Brooking is buried in the Hastings Museum of Natural and Cultural
History located in Hastings, Nebraska.  In 1926, he founded the museum.  In
1938 a new museum building was built and was designed for Brooking to be
buried in the basement floor of the museum in the center of the lightwell.
Visitors can see the grave from all three levels of the museum.
