For the Adventuresome: Traversing Back in Time with Dr. Ed Keall
By Daira Szostak It was a muggy, August afternoon when I met with Dr. Keall to discuss his plans for a new project. Sitting across from him in the dim bar, it felt like a spy movie where I was being enlisted for a covert mission. Details were few. I was familiar with the castle he spoke of,
