JACK BECKMAN TALKED ABOUT DIME
STORE TURTLES:
In 1990, Jack published
a work entitled “A History of Montezuma Well,” in
which (among many other things) he tells how he met my
father.
They say that nobody stays here except
forest rangers, visitors, muskrats, and
turtles....Well 35 years ago those turtles had
something to do with how I met Dr. Cole.
A man and a woman were standing at the
scenic point looking at the turtles. I said,
"According to Dr. Jerry Cole, those are dime-store
turtles."
The woman turned to me and said, "Ranger
Beckman, meet my husband, Dr. Jerry Cole." It was the
beginning of a treasured relationship.
