Sadly, we lost ESCONI member Dale Gallian on February 23rd, 2020. For a time, Dale was a fixture at ESCONI meetings and field trips, especially those at Braceville and the Larson Quarry in Dekalb. At meetings, he enthusiastically shared both collecting stories and was always eager to show his specimens. He was a great guy and will be missed by all!
