Ric...Hi! Thanks for the book and thanks for the recent posting on Youtube (Finding Amelia) and the recent interview on AVWEB. I was really intuned with the part of your interview when you were talking that ancient fecal matter becomes hardened like a rock. We all know that most likely the island was wet at the time of her existence on this island and we all know that like most fecal matter when it reaches or hits water it dissolves. So I have a question for you and Tom, and the rest of the expedition staff...what happens to fecal matter if it becomes engulfed with fire. Let's say for example.....and this is only an example...that Fred is somewhat fatally injured from the wreck. Amelia has no other means to rid of his body, but to burn it. Does fecal matter become trapped in the body and harden at the time of decompsition due to the fire, or does it too dissolve like normal fecal matter does?
Also, several weeks ago you and I discussed the issue of freckle cream jar being found on the island. My question is....when the colonists were on the island...how many white people were there or were they only black people. Also, and your other readers can help me out with this question...but do black people get freckles? Why I ask this question is...if the colonists were only of black nature, and do not have freckle related features...is it true then that the finding may indeed hold a clue to Amelia's existence on the island? Also, the hangar that the military supposely had at the other end of the island...was it only operated by several men personnel or did it include women as well...? Anyway, let me know guys...thanks!!!!
