I'm deeply sorrow to hear the new about Fred Bookstein. I meet him in
Wien many years ago, but I still remember him very well. He was really
an awsome scholar to whom we are all greatly indebted. He left us a
great contribution to geometric morphometrics.

This is very sad news, indeed.
Our field loses someone who has shaped the field over decades and an
author of so much great, inspiring, work.
May he rest in peace.

Morphmet Folks --
I am sad to report the death of my good friend and
colleague Fred Bookstein. He died this morning
at a hospital in Seattle after a struggle of almost
two years with cancer.
Fred was born on 27 July 1947, so he was 78
years old. He is survived by his wife of over
50 years, Ede, and two daughters, one who lives
in London and one in Oakland, and through whom
they had four grandchildren.
I am sure that people here will have many thoughts
about his contributions to morphometrics.
Joe
