Paul,
So sorry to hear this news. My condolences to his family and the Dept.
Martin is one of the most interesting people and malacologists I’ve met.
He is still one of the first examples I give to people when I explain that
much of malacological research is done by amateur scientists. Who could
come up with a better Philadelphia character than a PhD mathematician and
amateur shell collector who goes on expeditions with the Paris Museum, and
funds it all by building heated driveways for people on the main line?

It was a pleasure to chat with him whenever he visited the ANSP.
-Nate
