Hi Nikkie!

As you've already covered NAGPRA, I suggest another point for refusal:

     What good do two unidentified skulls do for the Fort
     Morgan Museum?  Of what historical and educational
     value are these two unidentified skulls?

One way or the other . . . don't lose your head.  <Bad, bad Jay!>

Best wishes, sincerely,

Jay Heuman
