Today, when getting a cup of coffee in the main lab of our Invertebrates Department I ran into my former boss Dr Jackie Van Goethem (JVG) who told me that he had brought with him a box of original reprints which he had received last week from Dr. Bert W. Hoeksema, the Head of the Department of Marine Zoology at the National Museum of Natural History Naturalis in Leiden.
Woaw!, nice very early X-mas gift this box proved to contain!

Then we wrote to the aspidolist and asked our friends and colleagues if they'd be interested in getting, free of charge, some of these original reprints.
And then it was coffee time again...
