Dear All
I am very sad to hear this sad news. I heard Dr Imajima is a greta person
and contributed many to the Polychaeta research. His presentation was very
neat and very distinctive, with clear drawings. It is comforting to know
that he continued with his polychaete research throughout his long illness.
