The Last Wish of the Anatomy Professor



When Osteology Professor Gordon S. "Grover" Krantz died, he wanted his skeleton, and that of his beloved Irish Wolf Hound, Clyde, put on public display.

    Grover Krantz was best known for this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMmXufXcx2Y

    But he was a very careful scholar in primate and human anatomy and physical anthropology.

    And he loved that dog.

    I worked for the publishing company in Boulder, Colo., that published his physical anthropology book on Bigfoot.
