Greetings,
We leave on Monday. I received my box of pottery and lithic samples to take as my "second" bag. Running other errands today.
I am trying to finishing editing a memorial volume for Dr. Reuben Bullard before I go. It is getting close. To be honest several of us going to Jordan this summer can credit Dr. Bullard directly or indirectly for our involvement in archaeology. Jerry Mattingly, Tim Snow, John Mark Wade, and I were all his students so I have been thinking a great deal about him over the past few months.
He used to say to students as they began one of his classes or trips, "This will change your life."
He certainly changed our lives. He was a pioneer in applying the field of geological studies to archaeology. We all miss him.
