sad news



Although not dino related, it is paleo related.
 
I have some very sad news.  For any of you who knew him, Ali Tahiri
died late last week.  He was in a car in the Atlas Mts. of Morocco when it
happened.

Ali lived in Erfoud, and collected  all types of fossil materials,
including trilobites and dinosaur materials.  He donated a great many of these pieces to museums and universities.

He leaves behind a very large and loving family, including some children,
and his brother Brahim.

He was a very generous man, as most Moroccans tend to be, and would give you
the shirt off his back.

He will be sadly missed by those who knew him.

Goodbye, Ali.
