Please join Chris and Dan, as they learn A LOT on this episode. As we are rapidly approaching race day, or maybe on your drive down to ole Silverton town, give this one a listen. Terry Wallace grew up in Los Alamos, NM (at 7000 feet in the Jemez Mountains). So you could say he was raised on a diet of mountain life and adventures. During his formative years, his father (a chemist at Los Alamos National Laboratory) took Terry on nearly weekly trips to the San Juans for mineral collection and general exploration of the mining sites through which Hardrock runs today. Terry was on the geoscience faculty at the University of Arizona for twenty years and then spent almost 15 years at the Los Alamos National Laboratory ultimately rising to serve as Lab Director in 2018.  He is internationally recognized for his expertise in silver minerals which can be traced to his love of the San Juans Mountains near Silverton.
