Carole,

When I was working on The Mollusks: A Guide to their study, collection,
and preservation, I tried to get Bea Winner to write the chapter on
raising mollusks in an aquarium. While she declined the offer, she did
allow me to reprint as much or as little of her books that I wanted to
use. I modified one of them, added a bit of information, and that became
the chapter in the book.

You imply that Bea is no longer with us. In 2400 Years of Malacology her
birthday is listed but that is all. Has she passed away? If yes, does
anyone know ther date?
