Join Paul Kachinski and others for our fourth Geology meeting at Chris Coyle's house at 1978 Chestnut Hill Avenue, Athol. Please feel free to come early before the bugs get bad as the first part of the meeting will be outside. Chris plans to open the wooden crates which <may> contain rock specimens <or gold bricks> his father shipped back from Allegheny College when he was on the geology department faculty. He has never seen these crates opened and is very curious to find out what they contain and wants to share the moment of suspense with the ABNC Geology Division. Afterwards he will show the group some of the many other specimens in the house which he is sorting through. We will hold our usual meeting as well. The upcoming field trip to be held on Saturday, September 3 to collecting locations probably in Warwick, Wendell and Greenfield will also be discussed.
Please send an email to Chris at
[email protected] if you need directions to his house.
