I corresponded a few times with Sam back in 1998. . .we traded observations
on what it's like to be a young person with a serious interest in
paleontology and field work. I think we were both excited to know that there
were "others" out there, who had advanced beyond a simple interest in things
with sharp teeth. It is truly sad to find out how his life ended.
