Darla Roberts has loved dinosaurs since she was 6 years old. Friday, she visited the triceratops fossil named after her, and which she donated to Da Vinci Academy in Gainesville last year. “I was the 6-year-old in the first grade back in my home town in Illinois who had an incredible interest in dinosaurs, and there was only one book on dinosaurs in the entire first grade library,” Roberts said.
