Well, once more Sukie has displayed the tenacity of a ferret (ya
thought I was gonna say bulldog, didn't you?) and come up with the
following information on the fate of Felicity the ferret:

http://history.fnal.gov/wildlife.html#tiny

>Charles Crose, Accelerator Section, and Wally Pelczarski, Internal
>Target Section, gave a great deal of personal attention to Felicia,
>including caring for her in their homes when the regular boarding spot
>at the Winfield Mink Farm was not available. Charles cared for her at
>his home as late as Sunday and reports that she appeared to be
>feeling badly in the afternoon and he decided she needed professional
>attention early Monday morning. Medical treatment seemed to give
>Felicia quick relief; she had improved greatly Tuesday morning, but
>was found dead by the veterinarian after lunch Tuesday. A post-mortem
>test revealed a ruptured abscess in her intestinal tract.
>
>It is planned that Felicia's body will be stuffed and mounted, to be
>displayed permanently as a symbol of early NAL development problems
>and solutions.

Personally, I want to know what happened to the robot that was modeled
after her!

It's amazing how much can be accomplished if nobody cares who gets the
credit!
