This will probably come across as REALLY insensitive, but what will happen to Lemonade Coyote's Fursuit? As I have said from time to time, the University of California at Riverside Library has the largest collection of Furry fandom materials including books, fanzines, letters, Furcon badges and conbooks, T-shirts, letters, etc.; but the one major thing that it lacks is Fursuits. Library curator Dr. Melissa Conway would love to get some Fursuits donated. Because Fursuits are very personal, are usually worn until they fall apart, and their materials are recycled into new Fursuits, there are not "retired" Fursuits that could be donated to an archival collection of Furry materials.
Lemonade Coyote's Fursuit could be an outstanding memorial to him. Contact Dr. Melissa Conway, Ph.D., Head, Special Collections & Archives, UCR Libraries, P.O. Box 5900, University of California, Riverside, Riverside, CA 92517-5900; Telephone: 951-827-3233, Fax: 951-827-4673.
