McNeely and All:
Well, this should be at least one "data point" that demonstrates that if
kids get the right kind of leg up at an early age, they can develop into
well-rounded adults. Your point about learning more in informal settings
also could be a message for teachers if only they weren't tethered by
curricula developed by Ed.D's and hamstrung by testing requirements, not to
mention the rest of the endless list of impediments that put them in
concrete overshoes. Maybe. With some teachers who seem to have given up if
they ever really cared at all, they seem to be primarily interested in
enduring until tenure, then retirement. What a helluva way to spend a life.
Sad on the one end, encouraging on the other.

Well, Laura Hubbs herself was a scientist, working alongside Carl. She
coauthored papers with him, especially ethnographic and marine mammal
papers.
Clark Hubbs followed in his father's footsteps as an ichthyologist, one of
the outstanding ones. He was a professor at University of Texas at
Austin. His latter years were focused on conservation. Clark was a
leader in scientific and conservation organizations, helping to found
some, and serving as president and in other offices in others, including
ASIH. He was an inspiration to legions of students. Field work with
Clark was quite an experience. I learned far more from him in informal
settings than I did from most courses I took, without a doubt.
Hubbs family members are still active and leaders in ecology and
ichthyology, and some in other fields of science.

Most interesting. That's a great story about the kids. Whatever happened
to
Clark? I wonder if he ever connected with Ed Ricketts? I don't remember
anything I've read about Ricketts mentioning him.
