Re: "Cowboy Dinosaur" for the masses

Cowboys/Dinosaurs and living in the old west has it's disadvantages.  I 
just took (last weekend) a bullet bounding back off a reactive steel 
target in my right eye.  It did some significant damage to the iris and 
cornea.  I will be out of (stereoscopic) fossil hunting commission for 
at least the rest of the fall though.  Depending on how the surgery 
goes over the next months, I will get some vision back in it we think.  
I currently am 20/100 in my right eye with the acuity of looking 
through a coke bottle bottom.

Here I am an advocational paleontologist with a pirate patch on his 
right eye soon to be walking around the Wyoming/Montana hills looking 
for dinosaurs next spring.

My question is to the list. Didn't one of the early famous 
paleontologists out here have a patch?  I seem to remember a photo of 
someone running around one eyed looking for dinos.
