‘Show And Tell’ Winner at his school!
Also a winner for Larry Darrel and Darrel’s bag of fell and tell.
Years ago I was working at an abandoned Air Force base in California all summer. One day a blue canopy was erected not too far off one of the roads to the site. After seeing it for several days I drove through the desert to see what was going on.
Turns out that several volunteers and an archaeologist were searching for dinosaur bones. After spending a week out in the area it was their last day with no luck.
A young boy out with his dad was digging around away from the others. I imagine they sent him over there to “explore” just to get him out from underfoot.
Well - he found a fossilized bone! The others started digging and soon another bone.
I was there as the boy was still there and they were continuing to uncover it - they thought it might be the entire skeleton (I forget what kind of dinosaur).
I told the kid “All the other kids will be talking about seeing the movie Jurassic Park over the summer. And here you are - living it!”
