Dr. Proctor showed me the power of my memory and the abilities I have as a nature artist. He believed in the potential of all of his students an I am so proud that he shared the world of Biology with us. One of my most favorite memories if him is when he crowded our entire class into a dark closet and showed us the bioluminescent glow of Panellus stipticus. It is and will forever be my favorite fungus to this day. Thank you for all you showed us and all of the beauty you shared. You are...

I just learned of Dr. Proctor's passing. He was my first biology instructor, and his passion and enthusiasm for the wonders of the natural world introduced me to an unexpected career in environmental education, which has brought me great joy and adventure for the past 20 years. I speak of him often and remember his energy and engagement. I'm sorry to hear that he is gone, but am deeply appreciative that I had the opportunity to learn not just facts and figures from him, but the value of...

I only learned of Dr. Proctor's passing when I accessed the web to share with my daughter about who my favorite professor at SCSC was. My love for all birds continues today because of Dr. Proctor's passion for the "lizards with wings" as he sometimes kiddingly referred to them. My condolences go out to his family and all who loved him.
