Massaro, curator of collections of the Museum of Natural History and Planetarium, Providence, RI from 1988 to 2013. Prior to working in Providence, she was a curatorial assistant and teaching fellow at Harvard University’s Museum of Comparative Zoology for eight years. She was an enthusiastic supporter of SPNHC from its founding and served on the publication and membership committees and as an associate editor of book reviews. She will be dearly missed.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Michael Kieron<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Michael W.
