> described 12 new species of Odonata from the New World. He has  
> traveled extensively in search of dragonflies. He is currently  
> describing additional new species from South America and is  
> preparing a book for identifying the larvae of the North American  
> Anisoptera. Ken has given numerous seminars and lectures on

> Dr. Dennis Paulson recently retired from his position as the  
> Director of the Slater Museum of Natural History at the University  
> of Puget Sound. After receiving his Ph.D. in Zoology from the  
> University of Miami, he has taught college and adult-education  
> courses about natural history for 40 years. One of his primary  
> goals as a biologist has been to blend the science of biology with  
> the study and appreciation of nature. His special research subjects  
> have long been dragonflies, and he has studied them all over the  
> world, resulting in the largest collections of Odonata specimens  
> and photos in western North America. He has written over 40  
> scientific papers on the Odonata, also a booklet Dragonflies of  
> Washington, and is presently working on field guides to North  
> American dragonflies and damselflies.
