When Bryce Miller received a letter of offer for a teaching position at Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska, he wondered what the winters were like there especially since the Yellowstone Supervolcano eruption. He concluded the town was probably doing its best impression of pre-eruption Winnipeg. Miller also noted that the position was vacant because Prof. Smetana had passed away from lung disease. This brought to mind his visit to Ashfall State Historical Park when he had been in Lincoln, Nebraska and the fossils of rhinos killed by Marie's disease from a previous supervolcano eruption.
