| 2452 | Nick Visser | The UW Geology Museum is truly unique and clearly loved by many. My kids in particular are hooked on it (or at least they were until this sad day). It certainly is core to their pre-school research and academics at UW.
I urge UW to re-consider, seek creative funding, and reduce costs. Find a way to not close it permenantly. Count the Visser family in with the Friends of the Museum. |

| 2456 | Sarah Morgan | Closing that museum was a terrible choice. I hope this helps to reopen it! |
| 2457 | Tisa Cheney | The museum has been a part of my entire life. Not steady and daily, but whenever I have been on campus that is a place I want to go. My father received his college education at the University and going to the Geological Museum was always a high light of spending the summers there.
Whenever I think of the University of Wyoming the Geological Museum is a keystone.
Please reconsider closing the Museum. While a understand budget cuts are necessary I would look at another area that is not such an asset to all the community of Wyoming.
Thank you for your time |
| 2458 | Carol Davis | The geological museum was a lot of the entertainment for my children while my husband was going to the University. It would be a big mistake to take this opportunity from the children as well as the adults. |

| 2460 | Anonymous | This is too bad and will harm the University as well as the science of geology. How are we supposed to inform the public and stimulate interest if we do not have museums to do this. |

| 2468 | Anonymous | I am writing to request the Geology Museum stay open on our campus. I am a senior at UW, I grew up in Wyoming and visited the museum on my field trips, and I have used the museum as an aid during my Geology 1010 class here at UW. It is a great asset to our University and our state, and because of this museum I chose a career in science and I chose to come to the University. Please reconsider the closure. |
| 2469 | Robert McGovern | There are few endeavors which bring UW such worldwide public recognition and good will at such minimal cost as the Geological Museum. The University has few servants as selfless and dedicated as Brett Breithaupt. For the cost of one Associate Director of Student Affairs, you could restore the Museum. Please attend to priorities. |

| 2471 | Shannon Mullett-Bowlsby | I am appalled at the miscarriage of academic responsibility this shows on the part of the UWyo administrators. You have been set forth with the task of education and stewardship to the public. How does this act serve either?
Fund the new gym facilities and football team… fire the scientists. Do you forget where you came from? |

| 2473 | Georgia Rowswell | We visited the museum when we were at the University and enjoyed it. It was very approachable and informative. |

| 2475 | Barbara EchoHawk | Geological museums are a vital link between the science of geology and the public, also known as the people who make decisions that affect us all, now and in the future. If we want informed decision makers, we need to support the informational infrastructure. |

| 2483 | Daniel Thissen | As I stated in my letter to the editor, (published in both the Boomerang and the Tribune-Eagle); "Sports are more important than education." Herein lie the real tragedy. |

| 2487 | Patsy Parkin | The closure of the Geological Museum in Laramie is a real loss to the entire state. Surely there are more effective ways to save money at the University than to close this prestigious educational facility. |
| 2488 | Hub Whitt | Please reconsider your deciesion to close the museum. |

| 2495 | Tom Dill | I am dismayed that you have decided to close the Geological Museum at the U of Wyoming. I am a geologist who has explored for oil and gas in Wyoming, and I am familiar with the value of geological resources to the state of Wyoming. Geological resources, whether coal, oil and gas, minerals, or fossils, would not have come to light without geological education. Musuems are an important, and for some people, the only means of education about geology and geological resources. I would have hoped that the state of Wyoming would have set aside a very small portion of the revenue from the extraction of geological resources to support geological education in general, and the Geological Museum, in particular. Sadly, Wyoming has shortchanged its future with this shortsighted action. |
| 2496 | Anonymous | What a sad day when we close museums why not charge admission instead. |
| 2497 | Aidan Couzens | Even as an Australian I was familiar with the UW geological museum. Both because of its historical importance to palaeontology and also because of its displays on the world-famous vertebrate fossils of Wyoming. As a kid I watched many a dinosaur documentary set in its halls. It is hard to believe that the tiny "savings" obtained from its closure could ever justify its loss. |
