Jolene poses with a Mastodon in the Paleo Lab at the Carnegie Museum.
Everyone was treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of the Carnegie Museum at the 2016 Eastern Section NAGT meeting near Pittsburgh. Thanks to Mike Baer, who planned the meeting and outings with help from Amy Baer. Mike is now Section President (woo-hoo) leaving me as Past President.
After nearly constant training all winter I really feel Spring is actually here! I found some time to spend in the workshop and finished these.
Another successful day trip of food and fun. Above: Craig even had a successful medical checkup. Made visits to the sites below:

Secondly even if you weren’t there you couldn’t catch everything, so here’s a second chance at it:
