I grew up with that whale! When I returned to my hometown of DC several years ago for the first time in many years, I asked what happened to it. I couldn't get a straight answer from Museum staff, other than that it was 'never coming back'. I guess no one wanted to break it to me... I, too, had hoped to have my kids stand under it one day like I did!
