Scientists will tell you that Amboy Crater, a volcanic cinder cone out in the Mojave Desert, has been dormant for maybe 10,000 years, but that doesn’t take into consideration its 1959 eruption that was seen all over the world. That’s when the 250-foot-high volcano played an important, though uncredited, role in the motion picture, “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” starring Pat Boone, James Mason, Arlene Dahl and Diane Baker.

Then I realized it was an early-day dog tag, an identification badge worn around the necks of all soldiers, though a bit different from the one I had years later in the Army.
