Replying to a message of Bob Klahn to Bob Ackley:

 BA>> FWIW a couple of decades ago the city of Bellevue, NE,

The city *did* move them into one of those assisted living warehouses.
They died anyway.

The ironic thing is that the museum moved completely out of Bellevue and
is now located just off Interstate 80 between Omaha and Lincoln.  The former
museum area is now rapidly decaying and the museum itself is a pretty well
vandalized dump.
