An old OMSI friend, Bill, is coordinator of education (forget his actual title) @ Hatfield Marine Science Center. We haven’t talked much in recent years, but reconnected just last week – and he didn’t tell me this was coming!!!!
Bill, if you’re reading this, I swear I’m gonna leave disparaging messages on Greg’s site for not warning me to check the HMSC site today!
Seriously, this was classic…
