“The Gray Fossil Site and Museum: Why is it important anyway?”

This coming Sunday we'll host Jeanne and Mike Zavada. These guys are a powerful duo. Jeanne is the director of the Gray Fossil Site Museum. As most know, the museum has been a huge success, surpassing even the most optimistic predictions prior to opening. The first thing I heard about the museum after it opened was that the parking lot might have to be expanded. Few new establishments get to say that in the first year. Rather than go on about what a neat place it is, I'll just post the link, here. Have a look.
Here's their bio:
“Jeanne and Mike Zavada have been married for 20 years and have 6 children and 4 grandchildren between them. They moved to Gray from Providence, RI almost 4 years ago. Jeanne is the Director of the ETSU & General Shale Brick Natural History Museum/Gray Fossil Site and holds a Master’s degree in Geography/Urban Planning from University of Louisiana, Lafayette. She serves as a member of the Gray Business Association and on the council of the Johnson City Convention & Visitors Bureau. Mike is Professor and Chair of Biological Sciences at ETSU and received a Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from University of Connecticut, Storrs. His research interests include the time and place of origin of the angiosperms, ethnobotany, paleo- and plant ecology, lichenology, and the application of paleobotany and palynology to archaeology, and aerobiology.”
Please join us Sunday, March 28 at 9:45. We'll warmly welcome you, and as usual, superb childcare is provided.
