Dear "Uncle Grump,"
    Larry Martin is a well respected scientist. His reputation rests
securely on his work with mammals. He has turned out many graduate students
who, despite his stand on the bird-dino thing, regard him fondly as a very
supportive graduate advisor. Of all the "Feducciaries" he is the one most of
us would like too have "see the light." He is really a very good person.
