Hi Charlie,
Mr. Lowden is listed in the First Edition of American Malacologists (and
subsequent editions I presume). His biographical sketch reads as follows:
LOWDEN, Ronald D(ouglas), Jr., Born Dec. 8, 1928, Forrest Hills, Mass.
Research Architect; Composer; Amateur Conchologist. Univ. Pennsylvania, B.
Arch., 1960. Dir. archtl. research for Vincent G. Kling and Part., 1965-.
Composer of over 24 Mask and Wig Club musicals, Univ. Penna. Memb.: Phila
Shell Club, Pres., 1967-1968.
Following the above is a substantial list of professional and other
memberships, etc., which I can send you if you are interested.
Note that the book I took this information from was published in 1973, so Mr.
Lowden's subsequent accomplishments are not included therein.
Regards,
Paul M.
