Dear Andrew and all,
In case you have access to the journal, an excellent introduction to
Tucker's life, works, and truly remarkable accomplishments can be found in
Jerry Harasewych's 1997 biographical article "The life and malacological
contributions of R. Tucker Abbott (1919-1995)", The Nautilus 110(2), pp.
55-75.
Best wishes,
