Got on a geanology kick today.
Just connected myself to my ancestor, who came to the US in 1637 at the age of 17.
Here's to you, Internet geanology databases!
But found out my great grandfather (who is my namesake as the first of the Stockman Spooners) has a turtle named after him.
The Illinois Mud Turtle, latin name kinosternon flavescens spooneri.
He was the head of the Zoology Department at Eastern Illinois University for 28 years, so that's cool.
Here's to you, Doc Spooner.
