Jeffrey Glassberg’s brief biographical sketch appeared in the Spring 2010 issue of American Butterflies.

Marc C. Minno has been interested in butterflies since his childhood in Pennsylvania . He received an undergraduate degree in entomology from Purdue University , and then studied with Art Shapiro at the University of California , Davis , where he received his Master’s degree. For his Ph.D., he worked on

the immature stages of skippers under the direction of Tom Emmel at the University of Florida at Gainesville . Marc has authored and co-authored many scientific and popular articles on butterflies as well as the books Florissant Butterflies: A Guide to the Fossil and Present-Day Species of Central Colorado, Butterflies of the Florida Keys, Florida Butterfly Gardening, Butterflies through Binoculars: Florida, and Florida Butterfly Caterpillars and Their Host Plants. He works as a senior regulatory scientist for the St. Johns River Water Management District in Palatka, namesake of the Palatka Skipper.

Dennis Olle is a corporate lawyer in Miami, Florida with Adorno & Yoss. He is president of the Miami Blue Chapter of NABA and serves on the Board of Directors of the Tropical Audubon Society (Miami). A lifelong birder, he became intrigued with butterflies after a native

plant-identification “walk” at Bahia Honda Key (Florida) in 2001 where he saw Miami Blues. That experience stimulated his interest in the protection of South Florida butterflies. He holds a B.A. degree from Rice University and a J.D. from Columbia University.
