    Ray Bandringa (Bandringa shark fame)was a nephew of my grandmother whom we met several times. Didn’t learn about his discovery or any stories related to Mazon Creek, sure wish I had asked him when he was living. I have been on the Braidwood trip before and look forward to joining in on this presentation.

    Agreed, it should be good.
    It would be nice to meet some of those old time collectors. What they experienced and collected is significant. Too bad the area is so much less accessible now.
    Cheers,
    Rich
