It was a lesson well-learned by students of all ages. "Hugh's personal charm, his delightful habit of challenging new as well as established ideas, and his insights drawn from diverse ecosystems made him an exceptional mentor, colleague and friend. His work and ideas continue to challenge new scientists and provide a legacy to the institution that served as his home for nearly 40 years. With a tap and fuss at his pipe Hugh always mused careful- ly over one's remarks and reciprocated with thoughtful and provocative ; Hugh's Canadian studies were mainly in the northwest. His work in the Athabaska-Great Slave Lake, Wood Buffalo National Park and the Peace and Upper Liard River regions began in 1926 and continued through the summers of 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1932 and 1935. This was the pre-air travel time when movement throughout the area was by steamboat, motor tug, canoe or skiff, pack-horse, wagon or buckboard and by back packing. This meant that food, tents, extra clothing, blankets, plant presses and other equipment had to be portaged through sunshine, wind, rain, mosquitoes and black flies.

In addition to collecting lichens and mosses, Lucy looked after the two boys, and was camp cook. Based on about 20 years of field camping, mostly in connection with Hugh's research, Lucy published Camper's Cookbook (Charles E. Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, 1967). The results of this field work and much related research crea
