Field Camp 1959
Students In 1959 the Curriculum (Department) of Geology-Mineralogy required summer Geologic Surveying (Geol 70) and Field Geology (Geol 72). The Curriculum (Department) of Geophysics-Geochemistry had two options -- Geophysics and Geochemistry, both of which only required Geol 70. Most of these names are from the database of 1960 Geological Sciences, Geology, and Geology-Mineralogy alumni that, hopefully, is a proxy for 1959 field camp, although some may have attended a year earlier or a year later.

Sam Romberger says he remembers that Larry Lattman came out to give evening lectures, because Larry caught him dozing.
Phil Heckel adds that "I am glad to be included in the PSU Stone Valley Field Camp alumni group, because my experience there helped to solidify my decision to go to graduate school in Geology." Phil went on to obtain a PhD at Rice and teaches at the University of Iowa.
