Hello everybody, and thanks for temporarily lending me your ears for today's episode Stories From Now And Then. My name is Captain Blunderface. I officially welcome you back to the Old Library. Now just a second here. We're trying to decide what to do. The door to the back storage room here is open.
Well Deprecatus, it says no patrons allowed on the sign, but it doesn't say much about cats.

This is a really exciting true story today because this story is about someone who is still alive and who has done some amazing things in her life. She is the Explorer of the Oceans. Her name is Sylvia Earle. Let's begin.
Sylvia Alice Earle was born on August 30th, 1935 in Gibbstown, New Jersey. She spent her early childhood on a farm. There was a forest and a pond nearby which she loved, and she spent long hours exploring the woods or crouched at the pond's edge, watching tadpoles, frogs, or whatever lived in the water there.
