The book skeletons in the attic refers to an AMNH archaeologist who
   was apparently the model for Indiana Jones.  The name escapes me, but
   apparently he was a seriously big wheel in those circles (or is it
   spheres).  He wore the same kinda hat, was a big time adventurer in, I
   believe, the Gobi Desert principally..  I'll clear up this info if
   anyone here expresses any interest.
