Hello Andy - We do have some AVO-logo'ed stuff for sale (usually just to AVO people - we aren't allowed to make any $ from it), and I've cc'd Jim Dixon on this email, who runs the 'store'. His email is jpdixon@usgs.gov, and his phone number is 907 474 7099. At any rate, I'll let the two of you get in touch about what might be best for a 5 yo. We're always happy to hear about young scientists. You can also buy AVO-branded volcano playing cards from the Alaska Division of Geological and Geophysical Surveys: http://www.dggs.alaska.gov/pubs/id/20401 (If you call Joyce at 907 451 5020 she can plop them in the mail pretty quickly). Happy Holidays! Cheryl -------- Andy Brown wrote: AVO- I am a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. About 2.5 years ago I attended a workshop at the AVO and brought home all of the material from the workshop. My 5 year old daughter was obsessed with the books and pictures!! Almost 3 years later, she still looks through the material and tells people she wants to be a volcanologist when she grows up. One of her gifts on her note to Santa this year is a "volcano patch" from Alaska. We have since moved from Anchorage but she continues to talk about her time there. Does the AVO have any material (books, patches, shirts, hats,etc) that can be shared with a young aspiring scientist? I am more than happy to pay for anything you can part with plus the shipping. Please let me know by email or phone. 907-223-2734 thank you.
