This sad item just in.

----------

It is with sadness that we report the death of V. Standish Mallory over 
the
weekend. He was a professor in the Geology Department and Curator of
Paleontology in the Burke Museum, the University of Washington, Seattle,
from 1952 - 1984. Since his retirement he continued to work in the 
museum,
within the collections, exhibits and education divisons, until the 
summer of
2000  when his health prevented it.  Robert Kleimpell was his Ph.D.
supervisor at University of California, Berkeley,  and Stan's 
dissertation
become the still-standard text  for the U.S. West Coast benthic
foraminifera, "Lower Tertiary Biostratigraphy of the California Coast
Ranges" (1959). His many graduate students went on to prominent 
positions in
the oil industry and academia.
