Dear Jean-Marc and colleagues,
This is indeed sad news; another of our colleagues passing away.
I met Judith at several of the polychaete conferences and over the years
(back in the 1980s). She had a Canadian translation service available and
I suggested several important publications that she was able to push
through the system. These were mostly Russian works, but there were others
as well. She gave me a complete set of the polychaete translations (in hard
copy). Before I retired, I scanned these and plan to give them to Geoff to
post at the Annelid site in her name.
