        <title>Unknown sender of gift to Vienna Museum</title>
        <description> Hi all,
our Museum (NHM Vienna) received in June 2011 by post a generous gift without accompanying letter. The gift consists of a small specimen of an excellent large uraninite cube, associated with gold and cattierite (from an African locality). Since the postal authorities unfortunately glued a sticker over the sender's address (specifically over his/her name), I can only read the lower part: the sender's address is &amp;quot;Lavra… [undecipherable], Apart 243, P-8100 Loulé, Portugal&amp;quot;.
Can anyone help? 

Thanks, Uwe</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks, Ibrahim. Unfortunately, I can't find any person named Lavronos in my relevant files. I'll send an inquiry to the email address you found out.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ A Google search for &quot;Apart 243, P-8100 Loulé, Portugal&quot; (omitting the term &quot;Lavra&quot; ) yields a couple results for a man named John Lavranos:<br />
<br />
John Lavranos Apartado 243, P-8100 Loulé, Portugal, <a href="mailto:&#106;&#111;&#104;&#110;&#46;&#108;&#97;&#118;&#114;&#97;&#110;&#111;&#115;&#64;&#115;&#97;&#112;&#111;&#46;&#112;&#116;">&#106;&#111;&#104;&#110;&#46;&#108;&#97;&#118;&#114;&#97;&#110;&#111;&#115;&#64;&#115;&#97;&#112;&#111;&#46;&#112;&#116;</a><br />
<br />
That there is a man named &quot;Lavranos&quot; residing in that postal code at an apartment #243 could be coincidence...but perhaps he is the mystery donor?]]></description>
