Sharing thoughts with Jean-Baptiste Johnson , Professor Benjamin F. Dattilo Ph.D, and several new friends while spending time at the Environmental Resources Center at Purdue University Fort Wayne on a Friday night. There is nothing like an evening of conversation rooted in the many layers of beneficial bacteria living in the layers of a wetlands bottom. Some see a muddy bottom, I was with people tonight that share the realization that its a world and kingdom in its own. Once again, I looked around, realizing I was where I belonged at that moment. Go out and love what you do, Rusty Reed The Turtleman
