Wonder if there would be any way to transfer (at least on a permanent loan basis) Stine's holdings currently in the hands of the Smithsonian?
Guess we need to drop a line to Craddock and see what he thinks.... Good news though certainly. Haven't read through my email in box yet to see my copy of the latest newsletter, so thanks for posting here. Earl

We don't need to move collections, only double them.

Absolutely! I'd like to see collections in multiple locations, not just on a corner or two of the US. We have enough good stuff to put nice collections in KSC, JSC, MSFC, Kansas Cosmosphere, etc., etc., etc., and still have some left over for general aviation type museums.

Yeah, whenever I feel the need to see a museum quality collection I'd drive to Huntington.

The reason I mention the Stine holdings at the Smithsonian is that probably a decent amount of his items represent one-of-kind artifacts that probably cannot be duplicated by anyone (e.g., the very first MMI rocket set off the assembly line in Denver, etc.). And if the Smithsonian is not gonna display them (and I assume they are not currently on active display) then let's move them somewhere that CAN display them. Earl
