This is Throwback Thursday #130. 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!

The poem "I Wonder?" was written by Ethel H. Whitney, who served as ESCONI's first historian from 1950 - 1953. She and her family, husband George were members throughout the 1950's and maybe beyond. She was born October 22nd, 1910 and died on July 30th, 2009 at age 98!
Her poem was published in the September 1952 edition of the ESCONI newsletter.
I WONDER?
WHEN I SEE A PRETTY PEBBLE
I STOOP AND PICK IT UP -
BUT I'L MUCH, MUCH TOO OLD
TO BE CALLED A PEBBLE PUP!I'M INTERESTED IN MINERALS,
AND MANY HAVE I FOUND!
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO NAME THEM,
SO I'M NOT A REAL ROCK HOUND!I'VE GATHERED OH SO MANY ROCKS
IN SUNSHINE, RAIN AND FOG.
WITH MY LOVE FOR THEM NOW COULD IT BE
I'M JUST AN OLD "STONE DOG"???-- Ethel H. Whitney
