The matter was of concern to cranberry growers in the region. About half of them also grow blueberries. Although Boyd is no longer regularly based at the research center, he is continuing to assist Phil Marucci, the center's director, with their blueberry bud gall project. I will miss Boyd's noon hour visits, often prefaced by the question, "What's new?" Many times I felt like a real beneficiary in the ensuing information exchange, for our conversations would range from the migratory bird life of Churchill, situated on Hudson Bay's coastline in Manitoba, to global population concerns, with Boyd's insights lending new perspectives to each topic.
