Lynn Kimsey, director of the Bohart Museum, addresses the crowd. She was one of the last students of world-renowned entomologist Richard Bohart. David Katz of San Mateo, who received a degree in entomology in 1977, said Richard Bohart "was like a father" to him. He said Bohart paved the way for his research in Australia.
