Skull Cleaning
Joey Della Penna and his father Chris have been helping Dan Lynch of the PGC with cleaning some of the many skulls the trappers of PA have been donating for youth education. Joey has a real interest in wildlife and recently asked if he could clean a variety of skulls and then use them in a display for a program at school. Joey does museum quality work and will probably one day be involved in wildlife as a career and part of it will be due to his extreme interest in wildlife. The PTA members should be proud to be a small part of his future.
