Telling stories about Indiana Jones is kind of like asking old geezers  where 
they were when President Kennedy got shot. The summer Indiana Jones came  
out, I directed a major excavation of a "lost" Spanish cannon battery on a U.S.  
Navy Base and coordinated about 300 civilian and Navy volunteers in a very  
exciting project to learn how the 1796 fort had been constructed. A group of  
these very excited avocational and professional archaeologists met at the local  
movie theater to go inside as a group and have the fun of seeing Indiana 
Jones  together. I think there were about 20 people in the theater and we all had 
ice  cream sundaes at a Denny's afterwards and had a blast. Not a one of them 
in the  room thought for one minute that the movie would create treasure 
hunters. We had  a wonderful time and returned to the dig with great vigor for the 
rest of the  summer.
