 Otto Geist ne IS aroently "d1gglngs" for anthropological specimens of Il creatures which existed on this earth 50,00O or more years ago.
 During the winter he is hard at work in the east end of the base ment ot the Main Building, sur rounded by vast piles of prehis- toric bones of mastodon, man. moth, bison, the Fairbanks lion, camels, and other specimens. Geist is present-day mans first contact with the relics of the pale pathological era in this part of the world.
 Otto came to Alaska in 1923 to visit his brother Joe in Ketchikan. He stayed 'n the Territory for 27 years.
 But let's start at the beginning of his colorful career.
 Otto was born in Germany in 1888, and went to school in Ba- varia and Austria. His father was a noted educator in Bavaria. Each summer Professor Geist took Otto along with a group of scientists to carry on excavations of the Roman Roads and the walled cities of Gaul and the Austrian Tyrol. Long before Otto was graduated from high school he was an experienced archeologist and was thoroughly trained in the art of collecting the evidences ct past ages.
 On completion of high school, Otto served his three years in the German Army under Kaiser Will helm II. But young Otto had no stomach for the Prussian system. In 1910, when he was 21 years old, he came to the United States as an immigrant.
 He spoke not one word of Eng fish. After passing through Ellis Island, he gave New York and Chicago a quick survey. He liked neither. Having a brother in Mis- souri, he went there, worked on a farm for two years, and learned English. Then he migrated to Louisiana and points west.
 Otto was an experienced gaso- line engine mechanic. In 1915 he lut tflc knowledge to use ry ,o'n- ing the Mexican Border Motorized Transport Service, the forerunner Of the mechanical Army we have today. At that time the U. s. Army was still pretty much be- hind mules, and the Mexican Border Motorized Transport was an experimental unit to determine whether or not the new -fangled gas engine was a dependable means of transportation for the U. s. Army.
 The Army soon decided it would convert to automobiles. Geist be- came a civilian employee of the Army, wearing an Army uniform and the stripes of a sergeant.
 On June l, 1917, Otto's entire company of civilians enlisted in the U. s. Army. By Act of Con- gress, Geist (along with others in the service) received his second papers and became full -nedged American citizen. First Sergeant Geist became an instructor in mo- torized transportation. He went overseas in 1918.
