SUE HENDRICKSON
Sue Hendrickson was born to find things :
missing trinkets,
prehistoric butterflies,
sunken ships,
even buried dinosaurs.
If it was lost, Sues curiosity
led her on a hunt to find it.
Sue began searching for lost treasure
when she was mighty small.
She was born shy and incredibly smart.
Treasure hunting was
the perfect job for a shy girl.
When she was young,
Sue would walk alone through the alley
behind her home in Munster, Indiana,
with her head down.
She was on a mission
to find things !
And she often did,
like the little brass perfume bottle
shes never lost.
Sue wasnt like other kids.
So shy and smart,
Sue gobbled up books
the way other kids gobbled up gingersnaps.
Head down, a book a day,
Sue learned things all on her own.
She dialed her curiosity up to HIGH
and discovered everything
about anything that interested her.
Sues curiosity led her to visit
The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago.
She loved to view
the endless supply of treasures
that other hunters
maybe shy outsiders themselves
had already found.
Sue couldnt wait to grow up
and search the wide world
for hidden treasure on her own.
At the age of seventeen,
Sue launched her life of discovery
traveling, living outdoors, supporting herself,
and finding things !
One curiosity always led to another.
And for the first time, Sue joined teams
teams of curious, dedicated treasure hunters.
Diving first for tropical fish,
and then for lost boats,
lost airplanes, and even lost cars,
eventually led Sue
to search Dominican amber mines
for extinct prehistoric butterflies,
to search the deserts of Peru
for prehistoric-whale fossils,
and finallyFINALLY!
to search the hills of western South Dakota
for dinosaur fossils.
