[QUOTE="taitzu52, post: 2535186, member: 21465"] Jim thanks Hubert, and tells him that he will be in touch before he leaves New York. Not being the kind of man to pry, Jim allows Amanda to back gracefully out of the conversation. Though she has certainly presented some major misgivings, he allows her to simply make pleasant conversation. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"Where am I going to go? Why the Empire State Building, of course. Marvelous feat of engineering it is. Boy, I wish I could have seen the holes they blasted to mount that baby into the ground."[/COLOR] Realizing that he's being a dry expert again, he quickly back peddles, [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"I can't imagine the view they have up there. Must be breathtaking. I hear there's even a cafe at the top."[/COLOR] Seeing the men approach, Jim excuses himself and breaks off from the conversation. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"Professor Moore."[/COLOR] he says, approaching the man, [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"James Poole. I remember you from your lecture series at Northwestern some years ago. I just wanted to say what an honor it is to have this opportunity, sir."[/COLOR] Jim says, shaking the man's hand vigorously, as if he had just met Babe Ruth or the like. [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue]"I was always quite fond of your papers questioning Alfred Wegener's continental drift theories, being quite opposite the data that Arthur Holmes collected. I mean, aside from problems such as specimen selection and lead isotopes, I still feel that radioactive dating was the only reliable geologic timescale. And I quite agree with you on your points."[/COLOR] Again, the ever inquisitive geologist in James Poole comes out, even in theses somewhat inappropriate social settings. [/QUOTE]
