Great granddad AL Roberson was a Stampeder in the Yukon Gold Rush.

Grandpa Jim collected dinosaur eggs from the Dakotas to set in the mantle of his fireplace.

My father collected mastodon ivory from the dredge tailings in Fox, Alaska to pay for college.

As a Geotechnical engineer I have collected many samples of rocks from my many projects throughout Alaska.
