Teaching the Teachers

We have been active for many years in the Fairhill School in Dallas -- a private school for students with learning difficulties.

Marea teaches the Camera Club and has coached students to numerous local and state honors.

Each year we host an "Earth Science" field trip at our ranch north of Dallas. Students follow a nature trail, identifying trees, shrubs and flowers.

And, of course, the students enjoy collecting the abundant fossils in the Cretaceous shales exposed on the ranch.
