Feel free to use any or all of it, and my name for contact person. Many thanks. Nancy _______________________ I am trying to get in contact with a former employee (an add-measurer in the 1960s) of the Panama Canal Company, Mr. L.T. "Ted" Williams. I am a research professor at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, Univ of Miami, and curator of its marine invertebrate museum. Among our collections are valuable collections of corals from the Galapagos Islands, Belize and the Caribbean coast of Panama made in the 1960s and early 1970s by Ted Williams. With recent changing environmental conditions in the area of the Galapagos, the William's collection (one of the earliest known from the area) is of enormous scientific value for comparisons with the corals present today. However to be of maximum use, we need to know the year and exact location in the Galapagos where the specimens were collected, and this information is unfortunately missing. I understand that Mr. Williams and his wife Virginia, who taught at Curundu Elementary in the canal zone, left Panama around 1969-1970, and moved to somewhere in New England to be near their two daughters. I believe they also had a yacht and residence in the Bahamas in the 1970s. We (Dr Peter Glynn,coral specialist, and I) would like to contact him in hopes of securing the needed data for his collections. We would deeply appreciate any help you could give us in this search.
