Beware of Geeks Baring Gifts. Or, in this case, Gifts Baring Geeks.

Subject: Mausoleum donation
I considered saving this until Friday but it just serious enough
that I
decided to post it today. I came into work this morning and no
sooner had
I opened the door than I took a phone call indicating that my
institution
may be the recipient of a mausoleum. What I know about mausoleums
would
fit on the head of a pin - I even had to look up the correct
spelling. The
mausoleum has been appraised at several million dollars (
replacement
value ) and belongs to an early prominent Colorado family, though
not so
prominent that it would ever be a tourist attraction. It is quite
fancy
though.
What I would like to ask the list is if anyone has ever had a
similar
gift, and how institutions make use of such a thing.
