Stories in Stone
“But wherever I am in the world, whether strolling through downtown Boston or hiking in the North Cascades, rocks are the first thing I see. I can’t walk by a beautiful stone building, or even an ugly one, without touching it and trying to figure out where the stones came from.
I go to cemeteries because of the unusual rocks used as grave markers. When I travel I bring back rocks for souvenirs, and I ask friends to pick up rocks from their exotic vacations. When I watch movies, my eyes wande...r to the buildings in the background to see what stone I can identify.
My passion for rocks began when I majored in geology in college. I had originally planned to go into engineering, but when I took physics and got 16 percent on a quiz I turned to a subject I had excelled at: field trips. I loved being outside learning about the planet and its history. After college, I moved to southern Utah. My passion for stone grew as I hiked, biked, and explored the red rock landscape around Moab, a geologic paradise.MoreLess
