In case some haven't heard: Sam van der Kloet, well known botanist,  
hebarium curator and teacher at Acadia, died suddenly on Friday, Jan.  
21st. Sam had an almost legendary  passion for his research (on  
Vaccinium species) and teaching botany and was active to his last  
moment. I knew Sam from many years back; I always went to him when I  
wanted to hire "a good botanist" as an undergraduate summer assistant  
and was never dissapointed. I will miss his wonderful joie de vivre.  
There will be a memorial service at the Acadia University Chapel at  
1:30 p.m. Thursday, January 27, 2011.
His obituary is at http://www.whitefamilyfuneralhome.com/obituaries/59262
