Now Art, Madison is a very lovely historic Georgia town
(http://www.madisonga.org/).  It isn't far from either Atlanta or Athens,
each of which have museums of natural history that have mollusc
collections.  Fernbank a private institution is in Atlanta and the newly
designated State museum of natural history, the Georgia Museum of Natural
History (formerly known as the UGA Museum of Natural History) is in Athens.
So the Smithsonian's loss will be our gain.  :-)
