> I have an interesting and clear souvenir of Richard. When I was in
> Bolivia, Richard came to study different populations of *Lu. Longipalpis*.
> Together we collected  a lot of specimens of *Lu. Longipalpis* from foci
> at different levels of altitude (slopes of Andean cordillera and low
> tropical areas). When back to La Paz ( the lab was at an altitude of 3.500
> m), we had a shock , we felt desperate: all sandflies appeared dead ,
> motionless, lying on the floor of the cages. So many efforts for nothing!
> However , advised by Richard, we heated the room during the night and
> surprisingly, on the next morning, all sandflies were perfectly alive and
> he was able to carry them safely up to his lab in Keele!

> Thanks Richard for your high human qualities and professional skills. You
> will be sadly missed!
