NOVEMBER 2019 | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 21 W hen Chevy Humphrey was a little girl in Texas, her parents had to find something to keep their precocious child occupied while they worked. Their solution was dropping her off at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, which at the time had a big dinosaur skeleton in the lobby. “I was always enamored by it and I’d sit there after school,” Humphrey said, recalling her days being mesmerized by “Dipsy,” the diplodocus that now resides in the museum’s Morian Hall of Paleontology. As a near-universal rule, kids dig dinosaurs, and Humphrey was not immune. They are big, get to destroy things in our imaginations, and leave cool skeletons. But while most children outgrow their interest, Humphrey — who is now The Hazel A. Hare president & CEO of Arizona Science Center — gets not only to rekindle her fascination, she gets to share it with tens of thousands of other people. VICTORIA THE T. REX IS A SPECIAL EXHIBITION 66 MILLION YEARS IN THE MAKING. IT WILL KICK OFF ITS FIVE-YEAR GLOBAL MUSEUM TOUR ON NOVEMBER 17 ... IN PHOENIX. NOVEMBER 2019 | FRONTDOORS MEDIA 21
