Ric Jordan's Post

Ric, your post re: where paleontologists "belong" is well thought out and well written. 
 I am impressed.
I was also totally intimidated by all your degrees, and those of so many other people on 
the list.

Therefore, having one degree and that being a BA in History earned (by the skin of my 
teeth) in 1962, I have decided that where I fit best on this list is to nominate and 
elect myself THE ONLY OFFICIAL PALENTOLOGY GROUPIE IN THE WORLD.  About 45 years of 
reading everything I can lay hands on in Archaeology, Paleontology, and assorted other 
related disciplines must have done some good.  I can at least partially understand most 
of what goes by on the list.  I certainly admire and respect every one of you toiling in 
the fields and getting no respect at all. 
So, I shall, from time to time, send CHEERFUL MESSAGES  to this list so that you know 
somebody out here understands and appreciates what you do.
Love,
THE ONLY OFFICIAL PALEONTOLOGY GROUPIE IN THE WORLD
