Hello!! Isn’t the dinosaur cool? I saw it when the Ichthyology class went on a field trip to Chicago. I got off the boat 1 week ago – this time I was on it for 21 days. That was a long time to not be able to leave or get away from everyone. But – we cut out lots of fish stomachs and no one fell overboard – so that was good! Right now I’m waiting for the Subaru place to finish up an oil change of my car. Very exciting. I don’t get back on the boat until July 25. So I have time to enjoy some summer and play some tennis with Val. I hope you’re both doing well and doing fun things.
Lots of love, Allie
Sue, the largest, most complete, and best-preserved Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton ever found, was discovered in 1990 near Faith, South Dakota by fossil hunter Susan Hendrickson. Sue’s mounted skeleton was unveiled at The Field Museum on May 17, 2000.
