Wow! - a dedication - an unexpected honor
Thanks, Chris -- as amateurs (amo, amas, amat), lovers of nature, it is wonderful to hear that what we do might have made some small difference for another.
(At least, we hope it's because of our interest and sharing in your work and not because you've just found out how old we are! Though it won't be the first time someone has refered to fossils in our presence!!)
:-)
