Giant Talk w/ Dale Drinnon
In addition to a myriad of other pursuits, Dale has compiled a wealth of research surrounding Biblical, mythic, legendary, linguistic, cultural, skeletal, and artifactual evidence of giants.
Dale Drinnon was born on January 1, 1956. At the age
of seven he was struck by a car at the end of his
Elementary school's playground, with no serious
repercussions beyond some scarring on his right hand.
Five years later, he was one of the original staffers
of that school's first school newspaper and was
regularly drawing diagrams for science class handouts.He continued drawing the diagrams for Biology classes
and working on the school newspaper into High School,
adding some training in wrestling and also working in
the library. He was selected to represent the school's
Physics classes at Rose Hulman Youth Day as a Junior
and won an early-version calculator as a door prize,
which he sold to fund a trip across the country to the
SITU during the sum
m
er break, just after the death of
Ivan T. Sanderson. He became a member of Quill and
Scroll and registered in the upper 5% of SAT scores in
his Senior year, having been on the school's honor
roll for every semester of his attendance. He shortly
thereafter became the single highest financial donor
to the SITU and an Honorary member, donating his
compensation from the automobile accident that had been
held in trust until he turned 18. He subsequently got
a degree in Anthropology at IUPUI in Indianapolis,
worked as a laboratory assistant for the State
Archaeologist and for the Anthropology department, the
University Library, Medical Library and in Government
Documents. He wrote several articles for the SITU,
all ultimately unpublished, as well as some
illustrations for PURSUIT which were published. In the
meantime
,
he also attended Art school in New Jersey
but
was forced to drop it when financial aid fell through.
Since that time, he has worked as a writer and an
illustrator and now owns and operates over 60 Yahoo
groups he has created, as well as moderating others.
He has groups for Atlantis, Mu, Cryptozoology and
Cultural diffusion during the bronze age, but most of
his groups are meant to promote his artwork and
fiction. Dale has self-published comic books in his
time but could not meet expenses: he specializes in
female hero characters, often drawing from mythology.
Dale started at IUPUI hoping for a degree in Biology
before changing to Anthropology and as a result has a
very diverse background in Geology, Zoology,
Paleontology, Anatomy, archaeology,
p
sychology,
Sociology, Literature, Latin, Popular Culture, Film
criticism, Mythology and Folklore,and various
individual human cultures especially mentioning those
of the Pacific and the Americas. He
has a
working
knowledge of every human fossil find up until his
graduation and every important Cryptozoological
sighting up to that point. He has been an amateur
along on Archaeological excavations in Indiana as well
as doing some local tracking of Bigfoot there.
