Real Life Stories
Jim Morin, Ph.D., P. Geol.
Jim Morin fell in love one hot, prairie summer day, back when he was thirteen. With rocks. And ever since then, they've been his passion. "Every day I walked along the railway tracks," says Morin, "and then one day, I actually looked at what I was walking on, and realised that beneath my feet lay treasure. Each stone was unique, told a story, had a history and marked time in some way. I was hooked by the mystery of rocks!"
