["Lindsey Groves" <lgroves@xxxxxxx>]

To all of PaleoNet:

	The Invertebrate Paleontology section of the Natural History Museum of Los
Angeles County has recently regained some of the losses it suffered in the
early 1990's due to cut backs and layoffs.  Dr. Kenneth Johnson (PhD
University of Iowa), a specialist in Oligocene through Recent corals of the
Caribbean and the Indo-Pacific, came on board as curator last August.  My
successor, new IP Collection Manager, Dr. Harry Filkorn (PhD Kent St.
University) a specialist in Cretaceous corals, started this week.  My
tenure as part-time Collection Manager of Invertebrate Paleontology and
Malacology will shift exculsively to Malacology once Harry is familiar with
the IP collection and various LACM functions.  Therefore, from now on for
all matters regarding loans, collection visits, locality searches, etc.,
contact Ken at (213) 763-3489 or (213) 744-4367  or <kjohnson@nhm.org> or
Harry at (213) 744-3485 or <hfilkorn@nhm.org>  In the interim I can be
contacted in IP on Thursdays at (213) 744-4369 and other days in Malacology
at (213) 763-3376.  This decision to remain in Malacology on a full-time
basis will by no means end my research interest in fossil mollusks.

Sincerely, aloha,

Lindsey
