Gilbert J Mircovich Elementary School:
"I learned that I am a rock eater. And I learned about that cool map." - Danielle The USGS Time and Terrain Geological Map of the USA was presented to Tammy Bellinger’s 4th grade class on February 6, 2008. I had three geology assistants. The assistants were Emily and Emily and Terrence—what a coincidence that I would pick two Emilys. That was fun because my Emily Hopkins was my Geologic assistant when she helped me in the mid-1980’s in my school presentations. I am looking forward to my granddaughter Stella (16 months) to being my assistant in a couple of years. My four children are all out of college and working now. Three of them took a geology course in college—but no majors. I am proud to report that Susan’s niece, Sarah, from Austin, received her BS in Geology from Smith College in Massachusetts in 2006 and was accepted this past September into Yale University graduate school to pursue a PhD in Geology on a 100% scholarship on a 5 year program! I am proud, so proud of her. She loves the northeast. Owen Hopkins |
