The museum had a life-size model of a blue whale in their hall of undersea life that I loved when I was a kid (I thought it was real). When they redid the hall in the 90s, they gave the by-then decrepit blue whale to one of the contractors. Who put it, in pieces, in his garage.
The information on the Smithsonian's blue whale model from the DC City Paper. I hope it's accurate. Also I hope Alice found a drinking fountain.

I'm really you found this, Richard! I've always loved Mr. Danders...
i remember that blue whale! he was super-cool. we visited him about a million billion times, as the only museum we had any interest in as kids was Natural History, what with the dinosaurs n all. ah, it's good to be a native...
