I hope I that wasn't too mysterious. The grad student was working at
the Heye Foundation, (not the Huntington) when I met her in a grad
school class in Social Anthropology, whose topic "incest" was being
considered by William Arens, Ph.D. (author of "The Man-Eating Myth"
Oxford presses) and the grad class back when the Anthropology
Department at Stony Brook University was held in the Graduate
Chemistry building (nice small nuclear accelerator in it's basement)
in all it's studied social research. The department has since moved to
a new Social and Behaviorial Sciences Building, for all the social
sciences and has or had a small museum exhibit space on the ground
floor. She informed me tha the Heye Foundation was having serious
grant matching problems back in the early 1980's. It has since been
partly
worked to be exhibited in the Customs House in Lower Manhattan, with
American Indian (Native American) spaces provided also for community
outreach, many of them involved in high steel construction and repair,
part of a legacy of building between and in the northern US and
borders with Canada.
