Poetic Obituaries: [John McLure's] science interests ranged

through archaeology, botany, biology, entomology, geology, mycology, ornithology and paleontology, with most of these reflected in his writings. He was active athletically in volley ball, jogging, swimming and Tai Chi. John was a published essayist and poet. His last essay, "The Hen of the Woods," about a species of mushroom, was published last year in the "Wapsipinicon Almanac, Number 14" by the Route 3 Press.
