Dear Jean-Marc,
I am so sorry to hear of Judith's passing. I never met her, but we
corresponded a bit in the 1980s, when I was working on spionids from
various locations. She was of great assistance to me and other polychaete
researchers in having several foreign language publications translated and
made available (I think Jim Blake will have further comments on these).
My sincere condolences to all who knew and loved her.
