Dr. Dan Gall is the leader ol
an interesting J-Terni session for
the 2001 school year. He will be
teaching alongside Ronnie
McLamb and together they will
be teaching the archaeology, ecol
ogy, and petrography of the Ba
hamas during a trip to San Salva
dor.
Dr. Gal! has been interested in
this field of study for quite some
years. He first started studying
the reefs and corals when he was
in his masters program studying
Carbonate Petrography at East
Carolina University.
As a student, he had the op-
ponunity to do research in the
Florida Keys. That trip was the
basis for this J-term course. .After
speaking with Patricia Smith he
realized that no travel courses
were bemg offered. He e.xplored
the possibility and soon decided
that this would he a great topic
for a class.
Ronnie McLamb. who is a pro
fessional .scuba diver, will accom
pany him on (he trip.
