Re[2]: Nick Hotton
I want to add my memories of Nick Hotton to those of Josh and Tom. I
first met Nick as a green VP grad student in 1973, when I went to the
Smithsonian to look at _Stegosaurus_ plates. He immediately struck me
as a living leprechaun, albeit much taller than the average
representative of the wee folk. There was a bounciness or bubbliness
to Nick that made him a great person to be around. He was just so
enthusiastic about paleo, and so helpful to visitors. He was one of
my favorite people in the business.
I wish him well as he begins prospecting for dicynodonts in that great
bonebed in the sky. Or maybe he is now associating with genuine,
living, breathing individuals thereof? Now THAT'S my idea of an
afterlife!
