Greetings Fellow Dinosaur Enthusiasts!

[DTRobers]

Just came across this site and I was immediately captivated by the content.  I have been a dinosaur fan since preschool days and since I am in my 60s now I think that says something about the fascination of this topic.  As a young collector I did not have access to the great toys and kits produced today.  I had something like 3 paper grocery bags full of figures by Marx, MPC, and others that dwelt on the dime store shelves.  I had a decent library of books ranging from youth oriented fare like the How And Why series, Roy Chapman Andrews books recounting his expeditions in Mongolia, and an Edwin H. Colbert volume all the way up to a thick tome titled "Fossils" that set my parents back $20.00 once I proved to them in the bookstore that I could read and understand it ( I was like 6 at the time).  Of course I also collected a lot of "Turok, Son Of Stone" and "War That Time Forgot" comics.

For many years during grade school my birthday present was a day at the Field Museum in Chicago.  The Albertosaurus (then called Gorgosaurus) in the rotunda and I became old friends.  I was almost sorry to see him displaced by Sue!

Welcome! I didn't get to see the Field Museum until I was an adult--would have loved to have a place like this close by as a kid!
