I remember my brother teaching me to slow dance by allowing his much younger sister to place his feet upon his and dance to Everly Brothers' records on the cabbage-rose design linoleum in their mother's front room. That was my brother.

Lionel and I were graduate students together at USM, in fact we share our office/lab. Upon completing our Master's degree, we went different ways and I have always wanted to reconnect. I am sorry that I was too late. During our USM days, Lionel and I was friends and I will always remember those years. God Bless him.

My sincere sympathy to the family and friends of Dr. Eleuterius. He made many significant contributions to marine botany and to the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. In the Gunter Library, we use his marsh grass book and other publications quite often.
