Once again BPS was out in the boonies with the ATV’s! Greg even brought his own ride this trip. Go, Greg! Gorgeous weather, good turn-out.
With
sadness and regret, Lea turned in her resignation at the August, 2006
meeting. She and her husband decided to move back to Kentucky to
be near their aging parents, and have already vacated the state.
We already miss you, Lea and Paige and Glyn! Give us a fossil
site, and we'll bring the whole gang up for a visit! Our Vice
President, Greg Mestler, has moved into the President's position, and a
new Vice President will be elected at the September 11 meeting to fill
that vacancy until new elections are held in January.
BPS regular monthly meetings are held on the 1st Monday of each month at the McWane Science Center.

Yesterday's exhibit setup was fun, but indoors. Several people wanted to go on a field trip in spite of the hot weather and the fact they had an opportunity to get their "fossil fix" for the month yesterday.
Our annual exhibit in the Ellenburg Art Gallery at the Homewood Public Library is up and looks great!
