Oceans of Kansas here in the east?

[Tompaleo@aol.com]

Hi All,

While reading my favorite news rag, The Washington Times today,  I happened 
upon the Life - Science and Technology page (B4), and I came across a story 
in the Webwise section by Joe Szadkowski entitled. "Scientist plugs in to 
monster Kansas fossils".

It is review of a webpage operated by our own Mike Everhart and his  Oceans 
of Kansas website. Since the article has more to do with the web page's 
functionality  (i.e. written by and for computer geeks) and deals with Mike's 
passion which are not dinosaurs, I will not comment further about either. And 
since I am not sure what the copyright laws are concerning posting the 
article, all I will say is that Szadkowski  gives a very positive , ~1/2 page 
critique' of the site  Additionally, the DML's Dan varner also gets similar 
citation as the progenitor of the art that resides on Mike's site. Finally, a 
large enough to be read b&w image of the homepage irtself  is also featured.

Kudos to both of you and it's great that other worthy souls get some good 
press even if it wasn't directly dinosaur related! I'll have to make a mental 
note to watch this guy's  column more just in case he surfs another member's 
site. 

The article also mentions Mike visiting the Smithsonian next month to see 
material collected by Charles Sterneberg. Mike, contact  me off line. Perhaps 
we can hook up for a few while you are in my back yard!

Those interested inseeing this article _might_ be able to access it on the 
online version of the paper at washingtontimes.com

Very cool!!!!!!!!
