Hi Chuck, I'm all for that! Actually, I spent many years searching for a "baumani" organism -- that is, a fossil of a new species from the Middle Cambrian that would be named after the discoverer. I actually did find it. It was something unknown to science, a creature with three long frilly tails. A professor came to my house and I donated it, thinking it would be scientifically described. He took it to Kansas with him and it never was described and my name was never added to anything. But I have photos of it and I have the satisfaction of knowing I discovered something absolutely new to science. Thanks for the kind words -- Joe
