...Mary, Leakey spent much of his childhood on his parents' fossil-hunting expeditions, developing a love of the outdoors and a marked independent streak. After leaving school at 16, he at first rejected anything to do with fossils and archaeology for fear of being trapped in his parents' shadow. But by the time Leakey was in his late 20s, his team was making important finds. He wrote books on the origin of mankind and headed the National Museums of Kenya before turning to wildlife conservation...

"He would not be called Buford," says neighbor and classmate Merrill, who says Furrow preferred the name Neal. At Timberline High School in Lacey, Wash., she adds, "he was kind of like a shadow. He didn't make an impression." Still, by Merrill's account, Furrow was curious and bright enough to go on to community college after an aborted stint in the Army (he was honorably discharged because of a bad knee). He studied engineering and then landed a series of solid jobs...
