SPIDER BIOLOGY at OSU
Last week I took a Spider biology class at OSU Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island. We spent seven whole days
learning the ins and outs of Ohio spiders from OSU's spider guru Dr. Rich Bradley. We hunted spiders during the day and late
at night. We looked at them under the microscope and learned to identify them to their family name. Very intense,
very advanced and very fascinating. Check out My Favorite Links for Dr. Bradley's web site. He is amazing!

One of my driving passions is community theatre. Note the cast on my leg. I broke it the night of dress
rehearsal, but still made every performance with a little help from my friends.

What's New? Alan is now stationed at Fort Leavenworth
Kansas and is the assistant to General Caldwell. Last week he was the personal escort for Colin Powell during his tour
of the fort.. Candy is working for the Marion court system and spending time at home with her husband and
baby girl. Tom is on the road with the Washington Nationals. He and wife Laura have a daughter and are expecting another child
in October. I am sewing matching outfits for the two girls and trying to get a quilt finished for Quinn now that she
is in a big girl bed.
This photo was taken at a program given by LEIC-BSC for a boyscout troop in Shelby, Ohio. Brutus
is one of the teaching snakes kept by Kristin Stanford of Dirty Jobs fame. Brutus lost his tail in a chainsaw accident
many years ago and cannot be released back into the wild. He has gone to countless shows and been held by all age groups
because of his gentle nature.
Check out the photo album. I just added pictures 7-03-07
