I once gave a talk in Chicago and asked if anyone knew what happened to his specimens. Lots of sheepish looks and 'could be at the Field, but good luck finding them'. Will Provine also didn't know. Probably long gone :(

I have long been obsessed with the fact that he kept inbreeding the four toed line and later published on 'monsters' with up to 14 toes on one foot and holoprosencephaly. I desperately want a time machine to sequence those.

He was on sabbatical at the Radcliffe in Cambridge when I was a postdoc, and he invited me to spend an afternoon chatting with him about my work and his art project. It meant a lot to me that the career stage difference didn't matter and he was just interested in connecting.
