WELLL,
What about the Rockwell Museum? Or the Grandma Moses one in Vermont? Or
the Georgia O'Keefe one in New Mexico? If Grainger's skeleton didn't end up
there, then I suppose some of our Presidential Libraries are the richer for
it, as FDR is in his own Library plot, Nixon is here in Yorba Linda, and
Hoover is in the deep freeze of Iowa (these are just a few examples of
Presidential skeletons in their own place, and they all had a hand in the
way their museums were designed and built). I think Geri had a point.
