“Our personnel who attended your beautifully and sensitively illustrated lecture were inspired by the excellently preserved cultural resources of the Basketmaker and Anasazi cultures in this remote locality in southeastern Utah that are being painstakingly recorded for future study by you and your dedicated colleagues.” Dr. Terrance Martin (Chair of Anthropology) Illinois State Museum

“We at Dickson Mounds Museum wish to thank you for your excellent program. The slides you employed were superb, and your talk was presented in a manner that built audience enthusiasm to the end and gave all a sense of being there at the moment of discovery.” Alan Harn (Research Coordinator) Dickson Mounds Museum

“Your presentation of the three- part series on Native American Indian Culture and the excavation of artifacts and the display of the same at the Quincy Museum in 2002 was truly fascinating.

The educational value of the subject is tremendous, and the fellow scientists who shared the podium with you were extremely well received. I found your lecture series enjoyable, educational and motivational. I am sure the others attending the packed house at each session were equally impressed.” Richard Hopkins (President, Board of Directors) Quincy Museum

“Thank you for you presentation on the expeditions into Grand Gulch. It was one of our best-attended programs of the year (in fact, we had to find more seating to accommodate the large crowd
drawn by the program). I was fortunate enough to have attended the presentation at the Granite Bank Gallery as well and found myself enthralled at discovering the mysteries of ancient America.” William Echelbarger, MLS (Reference Service) Quincy Public Library

“As an urban historian, I was particularly impressed with your ability to link two seemingly disconnected subjects – ancient Indians in the sparsely populated Southwest and modern American metropolitan areas. Your presence in the class was able to make students better understand concepts we have been discussing throughout the semester.” Dr. Peter Cole (Assistant Professor of History) Western Illinois University

“Your personal experiences added insight, passion, and interest that no textbook or academic journal could even begin to convey. Your discussion after the lecture gave students an opportunity to ask an expert in the field further questions, which helped dispel some of the perceived divisions between art and archaeology. It is heartening to know that someone of your dedication and caliber has risen to the challenge of exploring and documenting these sites in order to preserve these ancient ways of life for future generations.” Kelley Quinn (Art History Instructor) Culver-Stockton College
