Hi, George--

About the MOS field trip?  I just replied to Gwen Brewer.  Here's the 
message:

Hi, Gwen--

After  thinking a bit, I doubt that any special permission will be needed.
I'm not yet familiar with the park, and that's why I wondered.  You might
add the following to the blurb describing the trip:

The sea cliffs are a window into deep time, as the cliff sands and clays
preserve the remains of sharks, whales, clams, and other sea creatures from
millions of years ago.  If you are lucky, you may bring back a shell or a
shark tooth as a memento of that bygone era.
