Greetings,
As a follow-up to Pat H's earlier note on Meredit's passing - I too
shall miss him. As the only other American who has described a species of
Pogonophora (whatever their status might be - yet to be decided?) Meredith
has been a mentor and friend for over 30 years. His balance and sense of
self (i.e. not inflated) made him an easy person to be with and learn from -
he was special as a person and as a biologist.
For those of you who may wish to do so he requested that an appropriate
memorial would be to send a gift the the San Juan County Library c/o his
wife: Mrs Gerry Jones, 2283 Mitchell Bay Rd., Friday Harbor, WA 98250.
They provided him with taped books in the later stages of his illness.
Ed Cutler
