  With initial organizational help from Gerry Smith (and later, as Director of the San Bernardino County Museum), the ARCHEOLOGICAL SURVEY ASSOCIATION serving as her initial volunteers, and Louis Leakey, who influenced the National Geographical Society, to provide financial help, the search for prehistoric humans at Calico began on November 1, 1964.
  ...
  Gerry noticed that some of the specimens the Hauser's had found had percussion scars and were very likely early Indian artifacts.Hauser showed them where he had found the artifacts, and Gerry and Ruth realized very shortly that the area was in reality "a quarry workshop of significance".However, it wasn't until 1952 that further serious archeological activity was directed to the site.At this time, Dee was still employed by the Southwest Museum and helped organize, with Gerry, the Lake Manix Survey.
  ...
  It was during this period that Dee took a six month leave from the Southwest to work with Gerry at the site.
  ...
  It turned out that this was the same general area that Ritner Sayles had taken Gerry and Dee ten years earlier.
  ...
  In July, some concern was voiced by the Secretary of the Society, after which Gerry went to Washington to resolve their questions.Gerry impressed the Secretary with a well worked out plan and a list of respected scientists who would actually be working on the project.
  ...
  In the spring of 1964 the Society awarded a $7,000 grant and asked that Louis Leakey be the overall Project Director, with Dee Simpson as the Field Supervisor, Thomas Clements the Project Geologist, and Gerry Smith to serve as Project Administrator.
  ...
  The opening remarks were made by Gerry, as he welcomed the attendees and introduced several distinguished guests.
  ...
  Whether or not the traditionalists at this juncture are ready to accept the concept, the work of Louis Leakey, Dee Simpson, and Gerry Smith who stuck their necks out early, and that of the current researchers, such as Fred Budinger and Roy Schlemon, demonstrates that there is a growing core in this field that are confident that their persistence will eventually be recognized and rewarded, I do believe.
