Subject: Tracy Ford website

While searching for Limenavis I came across Mr. Ford's
website. His biography was a truely touching account
of the making of a dedicated amateur paleotologist. It
is a little disconcerting that the ablities of such a
skilled individual are not channelized as a fulltime
professional.<<

Yea, isn't it? :) I keep pitching myself and just keep banging my head. I
know lots of paleontologist who write books, I know they know about me,
but...


>> This is particularly so for he comes
form a land where access to science and literature is
relatively trivial and the education system is sort of
flexible. I thought all this while, that Mr. Ford was
a professional paleontologist- but he appears even
more exhalted in my eyes due to his genuine interest
in science.<<

Thanks. This isn't to say that paleontologist hasn't helped me, they have,
greatly, and I am indebted to them for helping me in the science end of
things. Now I just have to work on getting into books...
