Dr. John Ostrum has recently agreed to sign a hand carved walking stick
to be 
auctioned off by The Paleobiological Fund to support the Fund's student 
research grant program. The Fund's student research grant program
supports 
students who conduct research in the areas of paleobiology/paleontology 
without geographic or taxonomic restrictions.  The walking stick has a 
depiction of Archaeopteryx, Protoavis, and several insects.  It also
depicts 
an inscription by Dr. Ostrum regarding the Kansas school board's recent 
decisions about the teaching of evolution.  The winning bidder will also 
receive five photos of Dr. Ostrum holding the walking stick.  The
walking 
stick will be available on Ebay for the next 6 days (www.ebay.com) and
you 
can find the walking stick by typing 211288991 in Ebay's search field or

your 
support of The Paleobiological Fund.
All the Best.
