This is my fault, and I apologize.? I had the 1620 at USL that I first

There was a great donation made to the CHM, and that is the source of
the misunderstanding.
The system I speak of was in Lafayette, LA, and it would probably not
have been feasible to save the 1620, or the GT-40 that was in my lab there.
That system to my knowledge has nothing to do with the museums holdings.
It's just a lament that such a gem was not saved or fate is unknown.? I
appreciate finding out that what did get to the CHM from that collection
is in good hands.
Thanks

Many years (decades?) ago Dave Babcock and I read
all the cards as
part of
the original 1620 project at CHM.
There has been a steady stream of misinformation about CHM's 1620 in
the past
week. I had been staying out of making any comments about it since I
was hoping
you or Dave were still watching this mailing list.
