barefootgirl Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Great Picts! It's really nice to put some faces to the names around here.

Frank Menser Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Sharkdentist, We were looking for you but it seems you found us! If you look at the shot you took at Megateeth I am standing at the doorway with my wife She is wearing a white blouse and I am the tall guy with the cane. Be true to the reality you create.

lawooten Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 you guys should have anjd we could have hung out some I loved Ernie so much he was so funny Herbi, Ernie keeps me smiling here at home. He is the best person I have ever known and we have fun together just collecting or kayaking. I was amazed how comfortable everyone was around each other. It seem like there were no strangers. See in 20 years when we are all start slowing down we will all meet in Washington to go to the fossil fair and sit around chatting about that one fossil we finally found. Lol Kind of likes the shiners’ convention but we are all going for the fossils. Next year we will make plans to stay longer that way we day or so to just visit fossil friends. Ernie is usually quiet and he was in his element and thoroughly had a great time. I received a crab fossil from PaleoRon aka Ron and I need to put a check in the mail. Take care and give our regards to Mrs. Herbi. Linda The best days are spent collecting fossils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
