I don't feel at liberty to disclose, but there were AT LEAST two eastern
organizations making very serious inquiries into getting that unit >>as a
donation.<<  Neither felt that it was realistic to go for fund raising,
since no one could hazard a guess at what kind of money might be involved.
I'd surmise that each group has someone designated as the person to be
kicking themselves in the rear end about the result.  One of these
organizations has done more than it's fair share toward preserving EL
heritage, not that they haven't each done good work in that direction.
