The family of Dr. Warren Wanson, age 80 years, announce with profound sadness his passing in St. Joseph's Hospice on January 6, 2021 after a brief illness. An outdoorsman with many interests, he had a trapper's licence, and also taught gun safety courses for many years with local clubs. At 14 years of age, he completed a course in taxidermy, stuffing several birds, fish, mammals, even a wolf's head for a district scout troop. After completing a technical course in geology from Lakehead Technical College (L.U.), he went on to study in the U.S., receiving his M.Sc. in Biology from the University of North Dakota (Grand Forks), before continuing at the University of Nebraska (Lincoln) for a Ph.D. in Parasitology (Acanthocephala).
