Bousfield the Book

Forty-five years ago, just starting my career in shellfish development at the Prince Edward Island Department of Fisheries, I came upon Ed's book, "Seashells of Atlantic Canada".  It became the most cherished, almost adored, book on my bookshelves, both personal and professional.

Dave, another colleague in my office, also revered the book and we would 'steal' it from each other.  In fact the book got to be referred to as, "Do you have The Bousfield?"  Never in my lifetime has ever a book had such a security detail protecting it as "Seashells of Atlantic Canada" had in the office of the Prince Edward Island Department of Fisheries.

The book had been out-of-print and no other copies could be found. We never could find the author to tell him how much his book was used, respected and, indeed loved.

So many memories...!  So much respect for a man whom we discovered only by his obituary.

We believe his family gave him the love and respect that, in our estimation, he deserved.  To them we offer our sincerest condolences.
