In reply to Lynne Dalzell. The passing of Richard Lonsdale, Douglas Amedeo and Robert Stoddard marks the closing of what was then an exciting and often provocative era in geography at Nebraska. Curiously, it opened my own wider explorations in sociology and the arts, leading to my current work in the Jane Addams Research Center in St. Joseph, Michigan. Thank you Doug.

Doug was my academic advisor at the Dept. Of Geography UN-L for my M.A studies. He was truly inspirational, brilliant, perceptive, original, fun & cultured & it was a privilege to share his vast knowledge & to be directed by him for my M.A thesis. We exchanged newsy E- mails from time to time after I returned to the U.K. Doug was unforgettable, a huge presence & tremendous influence on my academic life 1974-1978 as a Grad. Student from the United Kingdom. I only just found out of his passing via his UN-L obit.sent to me by Robert Abbey, one of his Ph.D students. I am truely saddened as is Robert. Yours sincerely

In reply to Edward G Tolan. Thank you for your thoughts. Dad loved his sisters and told us about them. Wish our extended family had all known each other personally.

Sorry to hear of the passing of my uncle Doug. I am a son of his sister Virginia. Sounds like he had a very fulfilling life. I never met Doug and wish I had. God bless.

So sorry to hear of Douglas passing. He was my uncle, my Mom was Virginia Tolan. Never got to really know him but felt like I did through what Carol Pinto would tell me. My condolences to the family.
