Dear Polychaete Colleagues:
This announcement was forwarded to me from a friend at NOAA in Washington,
D.C., where Nancy Foster worked for several years. Many of us knew her in
the early stages of her career, when she worked on spionid polychaetes. She
went on to an influential position in U.S. government environmental agencies,
where her concern for the conservation of the marine environment was a
hallmark of her career.

Our dear friend, colleague and leader in NOAA Dr. Nancy Foster passed
away yesterday after a year long battle with cancer. Nancy was the
Director of NOS, former Deputy Director of NMFS, a great conservationist
and a truly fine person. I have not yet heard of any arrangements for her
funeral or memorial service but will let you all know as I learn more.
