Thanks, Cathy! Yes, paleontology, and especially paleontology in BC, is a small world. It's entirely possible they met.
For those curious, Charles Helm is a medical doctor from Tumbler Ridge who became a paleontologist after retirement. He's an expert on dinosaur trackways. His son and his son's friend found a dinosaur trackway in 2000, which sparked fossil fever in the town. It is another famous discovery story involving kids.
Sorry…Charles Helm!
I thoroughly enjoyed this article and only hope that Mike Trask and Charles Holme got to meet each other.

And yes, this story will be in the book, too.
Great story and great writing. Thanks.
Thanks, Carolyne. Glad you enjoyed it!
