A terrific turnout for our sloth program at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO November 16th. Many thanks to Dr. Adel Haj, Department of Biology and Earth Science, for sponsoring the event. We estimated attendance at 260– including some outstanding geology students and a very charming bunch of excited pre-schoolers. Sadly, university administrators announced in November that they are eliminating the geoscience program. Hard to believe they would rob their students of the opportunity to experience this kind of joy. . . . dave
