does anyone know if there is a relic of Sariputra in Barre, MA either at IMS or the Barre center for buddhist studies?

A quick internet search yields:
It looks like Andy Olendzki wrote about the supposed Sariputta relics that were given to the IMS in 1993. (source)
It looks like they were still there in 1998 (source), and I see no reason why the IMS would have parted with them since, so it may be safely assumed that they still have them.
