Thank you to Andrew Gable, author of our forthcoming book about the mystery animals of Pennsylvania for sending me the cuttings.
And I suppose this had to be done:

In November Sahar Dimus, our guide on four CFZ Sumatra expeditions, died of liver failure leaving a widow Lucy and four Children. On the 2nd November, Dezyama D. Sangma, wife of our friend and colleague Dipu Marak, our collaborator on the 2010 Indian expedition died, leaving her grieving husband and two small children.

It just so happemns that Andrew Gable is a friend of mine on Facebook and I already have a related blog posted, but Jon is going to put the link to it up tomorrow. So we are slightly out of synch with that.
Best Wishes, Dale D.
