PLYMOUTH — Riverside fifth grader Will Houser thinks his love of rock collecting started when he was about 5 years old; however, his mother, Erin, was able to find a picture of Will as he entered pre-school with a rock in his hand.
Houser’s impressive rock collection is currently on display in his brother Patrick’s classroom at Washington Elementary. Teacher Chris VanVactor, who also had Will as a student, has a special table set up for the display.
He said he started collecting when neighbors were finding geodes in their backyard and gave him some.
Will said, “What really motivated me this summer was collecting rocks at Lake Monroe.”
