Fred is the head rental skeleton at the Evidence Store. The story of how Fred came to us and how he was named follows (only because so many people ask!)

I have a friend in a similar business. He is quite a character, and one day he told me about Herbie, the skeleton. He said that he adopted Herbie to assist him in understanding anatomy when he was asked to make X-ray exhibits. And, if an attorney wanted to rent Herbie for court, so much the better.

As we were starting the Evidence Store, we needed a mascot too, and we adopted Fred. Fred is a friend of mine who has a personality that makes him and Fred the Skeleton a terrific pair. People have described real Fred and his wife as "the bubbly one with the comatose husband."
