THANK YOU … Nick ignore all the folks who think you are an Amazon Webb Service providing a “readers digest version” by noon tomorrow. I am enjoying “developing” the theme as we go along. Going where the evidence takes us and not following a script. It’s fun being unscripted. I appreciate you. 🤠

Another spectacular episode … loving this series.

Nick, as an old high school history teacher, I really appreciate you doing a bit of documentation of this research. I love to dig in to dusty old papers and photos, as a geologist might dig an ancient hillside. This is great work! Keep it coming!

[guest]

This is so much better than a 'normal' geology lesson. It's wonderful to learn about the people behind the discoveries. Keep up the fantastic work!

[johnplong]

I absolutely love the history you are teaching here of these geologists .

[dababe]

I enjoyed your history of the geologist you presented & geology of the sounds. Great picture documentation & maps. I am enjoying reviting my childhoid love of rocks & geology inspired by a retired lady geolgist across the alley in my youth. She started my collection of favorite rock specimens I still have at 71 years old.

Lloyd Voorhees Champaign/Urbana Il. I 71 reviting my love for rocks & childhood memories listening to a retired lady Geologist across the alley. She started my rock collection. I still have most of them! Lol

[hollybyrd]

Thank you for all your videos. You are a much needed pleasure during my free time.

Hey Nick, if you are seriously considering doing Saturday shows instead of Sunday shows, YouTube has a poll function you could post to figure out which works better for live viewers.

I vote you do whichever day suits you better 😘

You can sing all you want. You have a beautiful voice!

I find it intriguing that the glacier in Alaska of today's episode was in the same general area as the Siletzia research near Yakutat, Alaska. My son was a sea captain fishing guide in Yakutat Bay for the last several years where he also took people by boat the observe the glacier calving into the bay.

We are going to the small valley between Puget Dound and Skookumchuck, Johnson Creek road now! Thank you, Nick and everyone for today, wow!!😃💞✨🍻Next two streams, I'll have to watch the replays but, I'll keep reading and imagine every step of the way with us, because it's fun and exciting!!😉💞💫

As a climber I was getting pretty excited when you were going to talk about the Mt. Rainier climb. Well I had to look it up in the Fred Beckey book. I knew there was a Willis Wall, I ran under it on the Carbon glacier when it calved a huge icefall, luckily there was a big crevasse that swallowed it before it swept us away, we just got blasted by the wind and snow. July 24, 1896 Israel Russell, FH Ainsworth, William Williams, George Otis Smith, Bailey Willis make a N- S traverse of the mountain by the Winthrop glacier to Curtis ridge to the summit and camp in the crater, descend the south side, doesn’t say what route.

The "KAZOO RIVER" Bretz refers to on his map around Albion is the Kalamazoo River.

Very interning. Learning lots. Great to integrate the history with modern interp.

Nick, second time through the "A to Z" series. Even better than the first pass!

Your brief segment about the early 20th Century development of Seattle brought back memories from my youthful days as an eight year resident of the "Queen City" and University of Washington undergrad. Seattle has a fascinating history, from the leveling of the downtown area, the AYP Exposition, the monumental gold medal victory of the UW rowing crew at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, and on to the evolution of industrial giant, Boeing.

Because of your obvious love of the human back story of historical events, I commend a wonderful short book to you, "Sons of the Profits" by William Speidel, about the flawed but colorful founding fathers of Seattle. It was published in the 1960s and became an instant best seller. (available cheap on Amazon, I just checked) Speidel was a talented local newspaper columnist and humorist. When the book was a hot property, I was an announcer at KIRO when the studios were still up on Queen Anne Hill (1968). One night when I was working the control board, Speidel came in to be interviewed for an hour about the book. He was totally entertaining and funny as a crutch. He was seated facing me through the glass that separated the interview booth from the control room, and I inadvertantly became the "studio audience" for the interview. I laughed so hard at his comments that the tears rolled down my cheeks! Afterwards he told me that I was the best audience he ever had. I still have a copy of the book that he autographed to that effect!

The little book is a thoroughly fun read, and I know that you would love it. I would send it to you, but I don't know your snail mail address.

Warmest regards from a devoted fan, Bear Owen, native son of Colfax, heart of the Palouse.

PS: Found your CWU office address, book is on its way!
