Iowa Lakeside Laboratory

Thank you to Jane Shuttleworth and everyone at the lab that made the spring Earth Day celebration and my presentation a very successful evening. We had a sold-out crowd and very good questions as I would always expect.

And thank you, Friends of Lakeside Lab for inviting me to speak at the big top Chautauqua celebration and fundraiser for the lab June 17th. It was a great and windy evening with wonderful stories and interesting discoveries of days gone by at the lakes and the importance of the lab to the area, state of Iowa and the world with its renowned diatom lab.

Colorado Mountain College

A big thank you to all who came to the CMC theatre and the following book signing to hear my presentation on Friday evening. It was a great night with around 200 people in attendance and the
proceeds donated to the Summit Foundation of Colorado.

Special thanks to Jennifer at the Summit Foundation and Debbie at CMC for all their help and attention to detail. Also thanks to my wife Kirsty who always makes sure things run well and never misses a beat. Thanks to all of you.

We love Summit County and the great environment here in the mountains. Thanks to groups like the Summit Foundation, life is better for everyone who lives here and visits the Rockies...
