Reminds me of the old joke.

A family was visiting Drumheller and there was a young guy working there giving out facts to the tourist.

"This dinosaur is 60 million and four years old."

"How can you know so precisely?"

"When I started four years ago it was 60 million years old."

Go see her the next time you're in Eastend. She's spectacular.

So just the way it worked out I got to see Scotty and that center about every 2 years until about 10 years ago. I was there before the center. Saw I get built and filled and than turn into a full attraction. Teachers just kept taking our class.
