Betty Pace This was sent to me by a non-Pace relative in the U.K.-- He is not in a postion (or health) to do further research. ----- Forwarded Message ----- Linnean Society, their periodical ‘The Linnean’. In the current number {January 2006) there is an article on ‘Stephan Ion Pace (1872-1941): a ‘little local difficulty’ in the history of the Marine Station at Millport’ a Naturalist at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory He was born in London (22 November 1872) the son of a stained-glass worker. He studied zoology at the then Royal College of Science now Imperial College. Pace moved to Millport in June 1905 where he became Director of the Scottish Marine Station. He was only Director for 2 years and this is where ‘the local difficulty’ arose. Of course there is much more about Stephan Pace in the article but I doubt whether it would be of interest to you.
