As most of you know, the late Stuart Fullerton provided the seed money for PCES's Fullerton Student Grant that helped paid for first-year PCES student memberships, starting in 2009. For those of you who don't know much about Stu, the following link to an article in the Orlando Sentinel has a good summary about him: http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2014-04-10/news/os-obit-stuart-fullerton-0411-20140411_1_insects-ucf-natural-history. He did interact with the Academy staff in his formative years though Ed Ross and has volunteered for several summers curating Academy specimens.
Below please find an announcement from Zach Prusak regarding the sales of Stu's estate and items for sale through ebay. Vince Vincent F. Lee, Managing Secretary Pacific Coast Entomological Society c/o California Academy of Sciences 55 Music Concourse Drive San Francisco, CA 94118-4503 USA voice: (415) 379-5321 fax: (415) 379-5175 e-mail: v...@calacademy.org -----Original Message----- From: Zach Prusak [mailto:zapru...@mindspring.com] Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2014 9:54 PM Subject: Stuart Fullerton Estate Sale update Hello again everyone, As you all now know, before he passed away, Stuart Fullerton planned to divide his Estate between three organizations (University of Central Florida, California Academy of Sciences and The Nature Conservancy), and so two sales of his personal effects and various art pieces are planned for June and July in order to effectively raise funds for the Estate. In addition to the privately-run Estate Sale at his house in Oviedo, June 6th and 7th (Friday and Saturday, information here http://www.estatesales.net/estate-sales/FL/Oviedo/32765/633585), there will also be many of these items that will be sold on eBay with the proceeds going to the Estate (and subsequently to the three benefactors). Links to items that are active now are listed below. Stuart's positive life-changing influence on so many people has been documented and stated time and time again, and so by directing the Executor to systematically work through this process, he has insured that his passion for both students and learning will continue on. For those of you who knew Stuart, please come on by his house for the sale on the 6th and 7th and share a few "Stuart stories." If you cannot make it, please send the sale information and links out to as many people as you know who might be interested.
