Turns out I already know someone who loves Archaeology and I didn’t even know it. I went to my vet, Doug Pernikoff, to talk about his experiences working with zoos and exotic animals - and found out that he loves archaeology. Then I did a search and struck up a conversation with a fellow blogger, Dan McLerran, who has created a wonderful website showing all kinds of archaeological opportunities for people like us.
Makes me wonder what I was talking about with people before I started asking about their dreams!
I always wanted to go on an
archaeological dig and really sense the ancient Earth.

Hey Devin - I found a great
blog for you.
http://www.archaeologydigs.blogspot.com/
It lists different digs
across the world - and ones that accept volunteers. I wonder if you could take
your students? You could do something equivalent to the GAP trips you guys did
growing up. Maybe the local Rotary club would sponsor? You know how I am when I
get started thinking...

Hello Doctor Dehra,
Thank you for your kind
comment on my blog, Archaeological Digs. It is my goal to get the information
out there to everyone who has an interest in participating in an archaeological
adventure. Thank you for forwarding this info to others. I have, for many years,
had a passion for archaeology but elected for practical reasons to pursue a
different career. When I finally retire this January I will have time to pursue
my passion with greater freedom. I may even pursue an additional degree
(Masters) in archaeology and then embark on a new career for the second half of
my life.
Again, thank you for your
comment. I think this blog of yours is a great idea.

Congratulations on your
retirement! I can't' wait to see what you do with the time that will allow for
archaeology. Do you have any advice for an art teacher that would like to get
his High School students involved in some kind of archaeological project?
