As the University of Missouri Geological Sciences' summer Geology Field Camp course just completed its 113th year, we would like to thank Field Camp Director Dr. Miriam Barquero-Molina for her 14 years of outstanding leadership and dedication to our students and wish her the best in her new position at the University of Texas-Austin.  At the same time, we welcome Dr. Nathan R. Hopkins as our new Field Camp Director. For your enjoyment, attached please find an article on the history of Camp Branson published in 1989. We applaud our rich history of students and faculty in the Department of Geological Sciences.
