William J. Schaldach, Jr.
1924 - 2005
"Dean of Mexican Ornithology"
(I have no idea who stuck him with this moniker)
I met Willy in 2001 and he was very kind to me,
imparting his fascinating lore of Los Tuxtlas.
He was totally impoverished, became seriously and died in 2005.
I know how hard he tried to finish his Checklist, and I take the liberty
of publishing it here as a tribute to his mind, and as thanks for his caring.
Unfortunately the checklist still lacks a final edit.
