Mine is at the office. Looking for chapter and page number for this quote: "Fossil hunting is far the most fascinating of all sports…It has some danger… some uncertainty and excitement and all the thrills of gambling with none of its vicious features…The fossil hunter does not kill, he resurrects. And the result of his sport is to add to the sum of human pleasure and to the treasures of human knowledge. " Thanks! Roy    Roy E. Plotnick
