I will of course, second that. Tom, and several others, have contributed
specimens they've either found directly or asked hunters to give up...I
believe Tom got me a King Eider in this manner! The StFX collection is
really quite rich because of the contributions of Tom, other folks on this
list (Paul, Steve, Ken...others!) and other folk, too.
Thanks,
Randy
