In memory of
F. Clark Howell
1925 - 2007
Dear Friends and Colleagues:
It is with deep sadness that we inform you that Dr. F. Clark Howell passed away, on March 10, at his home in Berkeley, CA.
Dr. Clark's tremendous passion for the science of human origins led him to be one of the founding supporters of The Leakey Foundation and an unparalleled authority in the field of paleoanthropology and human evolution. He was both a scientific adviser and Trustee of the Leakey Foundation. Gordon Getty, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Leakey Foundation, described Professor Howell as "a great, gutsy guy; he never minded saying exactly what he thought in any meeting, but he was also one of the great mediators when opinions differed. He was our mentor on the scientific side, and his tremendous knowledge of the field was endlessly invaluable." The Leakey Foundation will miss his knowledge, enthusiasm, wisdom, and support.
A website dedicated to Clark's memory has been established. Those wishing to contribute words, memories, photographs, or other tributes are encouraged to do so, at:
The Berkeley F.C. Howell memorial
Condolences may be sent to Betty, Brian, and Jennifer at:
1994 San Antonio Street, Berkeley, CA 94707 USA
The family asks that donations in Clark's memory be made to the Leakey Foundation.
