LLOYD M. MARTIN MEMORIAL RESEARCH FUND
On 28 January 1982 a chapter in the annals of western Lepidopterology came to an end with the death of Lloyd Martin in Fresno, California. He was 69 years of age.
In 1969 Lloyd retired from the Natural History Museum, where he had been curator of Lepidoptera for 33 years. He was a charter member of The Lepidopterists' Society and served our organization in many capacities, including a term as President in 1972. For more than 50 years he had been a member of the Lorquin Entomological Society, in which he held important offices for many years.
Lloyd's many friends and colleagues will miss his irreverent and earthy humor, his humanity, his devotion to the study of Southwestern Lepidoptera, and his constant support and encouragement of young entomologists.
In tribute to his many significant contributions to the study of Lepidoptera, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County has established the "Lloyd M. Martin Memorial Lepidoptera Research Fund," to support the fields of inquiry to which he devoted most of his life and energies. Specifically, this fund will encourage field research in unexplored or little-known localities and the acquisition, preparation, and study of moths and butterflies of the western United States.
Contributions to this Memorial Fund may be of any size, payable to "LACM Foundation" and mailed to my attention.
