<*>  Dear Andrew,
        As I understand it, all items left at the wall are stored at
a warehouse in Glendale Maryland (near Goddard Space Flight Center in
neighboring Greenbelt).  Here, they are catagorized and placed into
boxes or wrapping to protect them.  

        There may very well be a display of these, but I'm not sure
at this time.  I just wanted to pass along this add'l information, 
since I'm always surprised to learn how many folks don't realize
just how much of this stuff is left and is now in storage.  Best 
regards.  Bill
