Paul, '69, and Barbara Fein donated to the SUNY Fredonia Geosciences Department a mineral collection that Murray Fein, Paul’s father, had gathered over many years.

The collection is exhibited in a display cabinet that was purchased through the Fahnestock Memorial Fund, which honors the late Dr. Ken Fahnestock of the geology faculty.

The case also holds items collected by the faculty relating to early mineralogy research.
