Passion[edit]

I know its not really encyclopedic but Anne stayed at my house when I was a boy. My father being an authority on Atlantic salmon. She was one of the most charismatic and inspiring individuals I've ever met in my life. Utterly smitten I too became champion of the natural world. Thank you Anne! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.148.46.7 (talk) 03:17, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Birth Date[edit]

Anne LaBastille was a naturalist helping guide a boat trip down the eastern coast of Central America that I took ca 1990 on the Special Expeditions Polaris. The purser posted a list of all passengers' passport numbers and birthdays, asking us to verify this before we arrived for immigration processing in the next country. Dr LaBastille and I discussed the fact that ours were the same (November 20, albeit mine a year earlier in 1934), and the odds of that happening. (This happenstance was not extraordinary; it takes only about 21 random people in a cohort to improve the chances up to 50% that any two -- excluding a February 29 birth -- will share the same month and day.)

LMU66 additions[edit]

As a one-time acquaintance of Dr LaBastille, I'm glad to see LMU66's additions to this article, and wish her well although I read that her health is not good.--Casey (talk) 01:30, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Her marriages[edit]

No mention anywhere of her marriages, and they probably should be for the Wikipedia record now that she is deceased. Her books describe the following: 1) to the man running the lodge where she worked in the summer. They later as a couple led bird-watching trips; I once met somebody who had been on one of these. 2) to a Guatemalan naturalist, met at Lake Atitlan, as I recall. 3) to a local in upper New York state. Possibly a physician (but her books are buried too deeply in a box in the garage for me to verify this). Casey (talk) 19:14, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Resume?[edit]

Sorry, zealous editors. Dead women don't submit resumes.

Ever consider applying your critical acumen/ocd toward flagging some of the zillion or so Wikiarticles that really, really need it? Such as the actual resumes, religious rants, and book-flogging?156.98.252.252 (talk) 19:43, 22 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
