Dear Cap,

Thanks very much for the very sad news.  By coincidence I had just spent 
the afternoon typing a manuscript on the conservation of African forest 
where I had occasion to refer to his classic 1955 paper and also to his 
recent letter to Science.  I had been thinking of him warmly, marvelling 
that a man should have two citable papers published almost 50 years 
apart, remembering his ready wit and the graceful way in which he 
responded to Nick Shackleton's revision of his paleotemperature 
estimates.  It was a great shock to turn to my e-mail and find that he 
was no longer with us.

Sincerely,

Dan Livingston
