Extract

It was 17 years ago this month, 1980 in Atlanta, Georgia, that the first short course on echinoderms was held. The conveners were Johnny Waters and Tom Broadhead. The Sunday short courses had been started only two years before, in 1978, with the mollusks being the first short course and arthropods the second. Neither of these first two short courses had accompanying printed notes. Thus, we echinodermers were the ones who began this tradition of short course notes that has continued to this day.

Those participants in that 1980 short course who are also on the program today are, in addition to Johnny Waters, a convener of both short courses, Dave Meyer, Jim Sprinkle, Bill Ausich, and Ron Parsley. Many new names and faces have appeared in the study of fossil echinoderms or those who study living echinoderms in such a manner that their work has bearing on the ancient record of these animals.
