Great news, and a well deserved honour. Both John and Fred have shared 
so much of their knowledge of the natural world with others. Thank you, 
Peter and Linda for letting us know about this and for posting the 
pictures. Dr. John Gilhen and Dr. Fred  Scott look very fine in their 
hats and gowns! Joan
