Thats what I plan on doing with my collection, is donate to the science
center, Robert Haag has told me you must state however that it cannot be
sold or they will and can sell it.

Ron, I think the article written that Haag stated .... scientists were
jealous about collectors gobbling up all of the specimens and the scientists
felt they were being left out in the cold, because they did not want to
hunt.

That article can be seen here :
