Subject: Society announcement regarding Jerry Wolff

Dear friends and colleagues,

It is with great sadness that we write to tell you that Dr. Jerry Wolff, of St. 
Cloud State University in Minnesota, recently passed away. He entered the 
Canyonlands National Park in Utah on Sunday, May 11, and did not return. For 
the last week, the National Park Service has mounted an intense and thorough 
search. Park rangers, local police, as well as friends and family involved with 
the search, now presume him to be dead. His death at a healthy and youthful 65, 
and at the peak of a prolific and successful career, represents a profound 
loss. In accordance with Jerry???s wishes, there are no plans for a memorial 
service. If you would like to commemorate his passing, we ask that you consider 
making a donation in his name to either the American Society of Mammalogists, 
or to the Animal Behavior Society. The e-mail addresses for relevant contacts 
at the two societies are given below.

With deepest sympathies,

Alex Ophir and Steve Phelps
