Subject: Herbarium at USM Gulf Coast Research Lab
 I regret to inform you that the 30 year, 5000+ specimen herbarium at
GCRL was completely flooded and mostly destroyed by Katrina. I am in the
process of determining if anything can be salvaged and how to best go
about doing this. If you have any contacts that could
assist in this process, please contact me on my cell (228) 238 1606 or
contact the lab director (Bill Hawkins) at 228 806-7717.
