It is with sadness that I am writing to inform folks that Juan Jose
Parodiz passes away on 4 September 2007. Jose, curator emeritus at the
Carnegie Museum of Natural History was 95 years old at the time of his
death. Jose worked for 20 years in Argentina (where he was born) before
coming to the Carnegie Museum. He is best known as a specialist in
Nearctic and Neotropical unionids.

Viewing will be held in Pittsburgh, details regarding the arrangements are
not available at this time. I will posts additional details when I have
them.


Regards,
Charlie
