The museum and the scientific community lost two tremendous colleagues in 2019

The museum and the scientific community lost two tremendous colleagues in 2019. Dr. Oliver ("Ollie") Simeon Flint, Jr. was a former VMNH Senior Research Fellow, former VMNH Trustee, and a world renowned expert on caddisflies. Dr. Joseph ("Joe") Calvin Mitchell, was a former VMNH Research Associate and widely regarded as the leading expert on the herpetofauna of Virginia. The lives and careers of these two great colleagues were highlighted in a recent issue of Banisteria, the semiannual journal of the Virginia Natural History Society. Excerpts from Banisteria highlighting their lives can be found at www.vmnh.net/flint-mitchell.
