Gressitt Center Dedicated

Bishop Museum's Department of Entomology was formally dedicated as the J. LINSLEY GRESSITT CENTER FOR RESEARCH IN ENTOMOLOGY on 26 July 1986. The was well attended by the local entomological community, as well as by two of the Gressitt daughters, Mrs. Rebecca Lau and Mrs. Ellyn Brown, and by Dr. Felicia Bock and Ms Audie Bock, sister and niece of the late J. Gressitt. Dr. Allen Allison, Bishop Museum Zoologist, officiated the ceremony, Drs. Alexander Spoehr and Edward Creutz., former directors of Bishop Museum, addresses, and Dr. Felicia Bock closing comments. Highlighting the dedication, a bronz.e plaque was unveiled citing the late Dr. Gressitt as a " Leader in taxonomy, biogeography, and biological exploration; noted founder of research centers and scientific publications; and preeminent builder of Bishop Museum's entomological collections." The plaque says Gressitt that " He faltered in climbing great mountains, the earth and of the mind." Under the direction of the recently appointed Chairman of Entomology, Dr. Scott Miller, the Museum has recommitted to the Department's mission of being a center for the study of the systematics, biogeography, and ecology of insects and related arthropods of the Pacific Basin and their source areas.

The duties in East Africa long absences safari" in remote parts of southern and eastern Ethiopia, the Somalilands, Kenya, northern Tanzania, and Uganda. From that period of knowing my Dad, l remember little. I do remember riding in his "safari lorry" and not seeing lions (too distant), giraffes in thetrees), and hippopotamuses (just bubbles rising from the bottom of a muddy down a steep bank) . I did see lots of large tadpoles in the puddles of water that accumulated in the garden during the rains. Clearly biology, and the frustrations of field biology, were part of my self-made kindergarten in Kenya. One of Dad's returns from safari was at least long enough for me to a brother, Martin, born in Nairobi. Thus, a family of four returned to Britain in 1948. The family reached its maximum human population of when my brotherSimon was born in August of the next year. ln some ways, feel that grown up with the lnsecta, and especially the grasshoptera. As a small boy, growing up in Britain, remember our holidays, outings, and walks usually had time to collecting insects. This was especially true when were made to my Grandparents in Edinburgh, as then, not only were grasshoppers eagerly sought after, but also the miniscule beetles1 that my Grandpa collected were game. l do not rememberthat actually nabbed a beetle of interest to Grandpa: some of those beetles were almosttoo small to be detected by the naked eye of an energetic youngster. my prizes of large beetles, ground beetles, and scarabs were indulgently commented upon at length, and released. The contents of Grandpa's beating-net was not so interesting. Grasshoppers and bush-crickets (katydids) were fun to catch. Especially fun was the capture of a rare species2 for Britain (from near Corfe Castle in Dorset). which bit my Dad's finger so that it drew blood. My respect for grasshoppers jumped notches. I remember being tantalized by the prospects of finding large pale earwigs (though I found one- and neither did Dad!), and the thrill of catching the more ordinary bush-crickets for the first time. The colony of stick insects4 which Dad brought home were fascinating. I fed them on they grew, laid numbers of eggs without the of sex, but the eggs hatched.s Keeping colonies of insects at home was part of childhood. Cinnabar moth caterpil- lars6 were collected almost annually, but not so the hairy caterpillars which came from a hawthorn hedge7 a couple of miles from home: I still remember the urticaria, the rash, the itching, and Mum's patient attentions. My respect for caterpillars grew. this was going on while my Dad was completing his Ph. D. while on the staff at the of Nottingham. That was accomplished in 1956. Not only did he obtain his Ph . D .• he also established the Zoology Section ofthethen new of Nottingham's School of Agriculture. As Head of that Section, he continued his interests in Grasshoptera, and particularly in their taxonomy, and directed research on injurious insects such as aphids,
