To anonymous editor - not clear on why the bio information I added was deleted, with no explanation. It fills out background and context of the subject. For example, the hardshell clam population study may seem trivial to most people, but it is an important part of the economy and ecology in the area he represented. I added it back and tightened the language a little bit. Would appreciate if it was not reverted, especially anonymously and without explanation. Thanks, DesertRat16 Michael Hardiman ( talk) 21:56, 23 March 2019 (UTC) reply
