Marian Pettibone

[pknight-jones]

Marian's death is certainly a great loss to Polychaetology, Wyn (87) and I 
(70) can only hope that we will last as long. We have corresponded with Marian 
for a few decades now and her Christmas card notes often suggested that we 
should arrange a visit to the Smithsonian. We now regret that we did not go 
there and that we did not attend her ''70th' Anniversary meeting in Denver.  

However, on the mid-conference (2nd Int. Polychaete) excursion to Isefjord 
Marine Station, of Rasmussen fame, Marian and I caught up on poly. news, 
cabbages and Kings on both coach journeys (Wyn was gallantly looking after our 
young daughter at home). Marian and I had much in common and I was delighted 
by her sharp mind and range of interests.  

It is good to read the eulogistic comments of other colleagues. We only wish 
that we had known her that well.
