This is Throwback Thursday #102. In these, we look back into the past at ESCONI specifically and Earth Science in general. If you have any contributions, (science, pictures, stories, etc ...), please sent them to [email protected]. Thanks!

ESCONI has been holding a show in the spring since about 1960. In the mid 1970's, it became the Gem, Mineral, and Fossil Show. Before that, there was the Indoor Field Trip hosted by the Paleontology Study Group.
Today, we are looking back 30 years to the 1992 show. The show was held on March 7th and 8th, 1992 in the old College of DuPage Building K. Meetings were also in Building K for a long time. Floyd Rogers was President of ESCONI.
Photos from the show... there are a few familiar faces and a few others you might recognize from previous posts.
