A London man known to
children all over the
region simply as the
`Fossil Guy' was at the
Seaforth Public Library
recently teaching children
about how fossils form.
"The kids are wonder-
ful," said Bob O'Donnell
in a telephone interview
last week.
O'Donnell does shows in
schools and libraries and
finds each kind of audi-
ence different.
At the recent Seaforth
show, O'Donnell taught a
group of children about
the different ways things
can become fossils.
O'Donnell's hour long
program fits into the
Grade 4 - 6 curriculum.
The wide-eyed kids lis-
tened to him talk about
fossils, with examples
from his collection, for
the first segment.
This was followed by a
short slide show and a
time for the children to
look at and touch the
many fossils, which were
laid out in wooden boxes
across a couple tables in
the library. They just
couldn't lift them off of
the tables in case they
were to drop - and poten-
tially break - them.
"The library environ-
ment seems to be much
better[ I find," said
O'Donnell, noting that
while he doesn't know
why that is, he suspects
it's because kids at the
library want to learn.
O'Donnell's been doing
this off and on for nearly
15 years, but has always
been fascinated by fossils.
"My father died when I
was 10 years old and my
mother got me into the
Big Brothers' Association.
He took me out fossil col-
lecting," said O'Donnell.
He said he ended up
with a margarine contain-
er full of fossils and "it
just kind of exploded from
there."
Teaching kids about fos-
sils is something very
important to O'Donnell.
"I have an aneurysm
over my- heart," he said.
"so, for me, it's very life -
fulfilling."
"I feel like I'm doing
nothing being on disabili-
ty," said O'Donnell. "With
sitting around doing noth-
ing, you can turn into a
couch potato and die."
O'Donnell said his cardi-
ologist and some of the
other people he sees about
his condition say the best
