20 DECEMBER 2022 • WORLD AQUACULTURE • WWW.WA S .ORG was working all at once. The amount of work he accomplished in a day was an example to all. Although I knew him professionally, his dedication to his family even through tough times was unrelenting. I considered Addison a mentor and a friend who was instrumental in helping build my career. We shared so many joys at meetings and conferences all over the world. It seems unbelievable that I can’t just pick up the phone and call my old friend but the grand legacy he leaves behind will live on for the rest of us to continue the work. — Craig Browdy Many people will remember Addison for his contributions to the shrimp mariculture industry, others for the colorful stories surrounding his life. On many occasions, I have had the pleasure to laugh for hours at the stories of the early years of adventure. He most certainly lived through and contributed to the taming of the wild west of shrimp mariculture. We all are grateful for the legacy of students who are an extension of his work. He was a colorful and exceptional evangelist for the science of shrimp culture. — D. Allen Davis Addison wanted his graduate students planning and doing research, not wasting time on routine analyses and washing glassware. He would always review our conference presentations and practice before him. He wanted all of us to do well and to represent the Shrimp Mariculture Project, TAMU. He always worked harder than anyone and inspired me to work harder and dedicate myself to the project and my research. Addison was aggressive with his superiors, fair with his colleagues and protective of his students. — Dean Akiyama I first met Addison at a Shrimp Mariculture Society meeting in 1980 when I was considering an application to Texas A&M, where he had founded the world-renowned Shrimp Mariculture Program. Addison always had a grant, a publication or a student’s thesis that he was editing. I have actually never seen another person that utilized so well even the briefest of time intervals to get work accomplished. That doesn’t mean we didn’t have time to have fun. The most unique aspect of Addison’s personality was the melding of his students, colleagues and project personnel with his family. One of my fondest memories together was one Thanksgiving when he prepared a 12 lb stuffed flounder instead of a turkey; there were a lot of family and students around their dining room table. That’s how down-to-earth Addison was with his students. — Phillip G. Lee We will always cherish his teachings and support while at TAMU and our time in Texas. Working and sharing with him and his team at the Shrimp Mariculture Research Lab in Port Aransas was a privilege and honor for us. — Mario Velasco and Ruby Montoya Being an Addison Lawrence grad student was a comprehensive learning experience with never a dull moment. Addison and those years are definitely on the highlight reel of my life. — Quenton Dokken I was a graduate student of Addison from 1982 to 1984. Detail-oriented, stubborn, and of fewwords, but he always supported me in my decisions. After my return to Brazil, he followed my professional trajectory. — Silvio Romero Coelho U.S. AQUACULTURE SOCIETY Sponsored Publ icat ions Reques t for Proposal s The USAS is seeking proposals for publications, including books, conference proceedings, fact sheets, pictorials, hatchery or production manuals, data compilations, and other materials that are important to U.S. aquaculture development and that will be of benefit to USAS members.
