"Created in 1987 by Ron Cauble, who simply wanted an excuse to learn more about Natural History...Though Ron could claim to be a professional in at least one field, he proudly affirms his amateur status with bones, insects and fossils. He asserts that 'amateur' is a dignified and important title. He likes to remind us that it means 'lover', and that the world needs more amateurs...and more lovers."
