I knew Bill since 1960 through correspondence and exchange of literature with him while I was still in India but met him for the first time in 1967 when he visited the Department of Geology, University of Alberta, Edmonton, Canada. I was a PhD student and working on the Edmonton Group then. As soon as Rosalind (my girlfriend then) and I were introduced to Bill, he talked to us in such a friendly way as if we had known each other for years. He immediately became interested in examining slides and finding some dinocysts. Dinocysts were hard to find in the nonmarine Edmonton Group. There were a couple of specimens which I showed him. Bill immediately suggested writing a paper if I could find a few more specimens. Alas! There were none and we could never be co-authors of any paper but remained partners in exchanging publications, correspondence and views.
In about 1975, Bill published a long paper on fossil footprints with some sketches of three-toed ones. On returning from lunch one day, Warren Drugg and I saw a three-toed mark in the cement of the foot-path near the Chevron lab. Warren chuckled that it looks like a three-toed impression -- let us send it to Bill to write a paper. I took a Polaroid photo of it and gave it to Warren to send with his letter to Bill. The response prompt "Let us write it up." Warren thought that Bill had fallen for it. In 1977, I asked Bill in Nebraska if he really believed Warren. He laughed heartily and said Warren got caught in his own web. The subtlety of British humor was lost on Warren.
In June 1977, the School for Micropaleontology was held in the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, and Bill gave a class on Dinoflagellate cysts. Lincoln didn't have much going for it. In the evenings, we walked from the Hilton Hotel up to the Legislature Building and back. The University of Nebraska has a very nice campus but it was deserted due to summer break. During those walks, Bill told me about his ardent love for his wife Peggy and his daughters. I asked him how he could produce so many publications on so many fields of geology. He told me that he is blessed with a condition that makes it impossible for him to watch even a corner of a TV screen because it gives him intense headaches. So he generally spent his time reading and writing. He was a voracious and very rapid reader and of course it is well known that he had a huge collection of geology books. The Department of Geosciences of the University of Alberta received the lion's share of that collection.
In a dusty corner in Lincoln was a huge bookstore of old books. Being allergic to dust, I could not enter the bookstore but Bill, being an avid book collector, went in on his hunt for old geology books. After about an hour he came out with a broad smile like the cat that caught the canary. He had found a very old geology book for which he had looked everywhere. He wanted it to fill the gap in his large collection. He held the book pressed to his chest and was as happy as if he had found his lost treasure.
To celebrate his find, we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner. He asked if I like hot dishes and ordered beer and a hot Schezwan dish. I was not familiar with the dish but ordered the same thinking that if he could eat hot food, so could I, being from India. The dish was nothing else but long red fried chilies with fried rice. I ate one or two chilies but Bill ate them all with great relish. Not being a beer drinker, I wondered if the beer helped him eat so many chilies and told him that the secret is out as to how he remains awake all night and reads.
We all know about his work on dinoflagellates and geology but he was equally good in writing detective and other novels. He was a Renaissance man of many interests! In 1998, AASP field trip reached San Felipe in Baja California just before sunset. As Bill and I were waiting outside the restaurant for dinner, a bird flew behind us. Suddenly Bill looked back and named the bird. I asked how he could identify a flying bird. He took out a small book from his pocket and showed the bird"s picture. The book was "Birds of Mexico." He was very interested in taking photographs of butterflies, trains, and bridges. His several other hobbies are noted elsewhere.
During his visit to Alberta in 1967, we were gossiping in the evening over a beer. Bill narrated his previous night"s experience when a friend invited him to participate in one of Canada"s favorite games, curling, which he thought had something to do with hair until the term was explained.
Bill always responded immediately to letters and never let a reprint go unacknowledged. Recently he asked me about my health. Until now we corresponded by post. Somehow I thought a letter will take too long to reach Canada so I e-mailed him. He replied immediately by email on June 24th telling me the diagnosis of his awful illness and that he had only a few weeks to live. He confounded me with his courage in facing the inevitable. At the end of the e-mail he wrote "These are good memories, which will not fade." How truly he wrote. In spite of his achievements, humility was his creed and humor his companion. He is immortal among us with his work and in the memory of his friends. He shines brightly in the galaxy of scientists.

WILLIAM ANTHONY SWITHIN SARJEANT was Visiting Professor in the School of Geology and Geophysics, University of Oklahoma, and 33 years old at the time of formation of the American Association of Stratigraphic Palynologists. After a motor tour into the American west and a brief visit to the northeastern States during the summer of 1968, he, his wife Peggy and (at that time) only daughter Nicola returned to Nottingham, at whose University Bill was then a Lecturer in Geology.
However, after the comforts and opportunities of the United States, the lower salaries and harsher living conditions of England offered little appeal. Moreover, three experiences -- a major fire in the Geology building, in which Bill lost all his research samples and many geological papers; a visit to Paris at the time when de Gaulle's crumbling rule was being propped up much too visibly by the police and the military; and an all-too-brief participation in the International Geological Congress in Prague, prematurely terminated by the Russian invasion - made this side of the Atlantic seem even more attractive. Consequently, Bill and family - by then augmented by a second daughter, Rachel - came back across the ocean in 1972 to enjoy the spaciousness and year-long sunshine, and endure the winter cold, of Saskatoon.
Since the Department of Geological Sciences of the University of Saskatchewan was by then in run-down and overcrowded quarters, Bill was "temporarily" assigned office space in the prefabricated General Purpose Building, his offices being sandwiched between Feed Testing and Printing Services. The Palynology Laboratory was a converted trailer with serious heating and air-flow problems Persons working in it in winter had to wear fur- lined boots but virtually strip to the waist; moreover they had to deal with such unusual problems as frozen hydrofluoric acid! In summer, in contrast, the trailer overheated to the point where it became too hot to inhabit. This was at first considered entirely inexplicable by University engineers, till they recognized that the air intake of the trailer was receiving the hot-air outflow from the General Purpose building!
Even so, this was a productive theme as the theses and papers of Martin Bradford, Stuart Harker, Malcom Wilson, Jim Wheeler and Duncan Wall and the voluminous productions of Bill himself demonstrate. Most demanding among those last was Bill's (initially) five-volume bibliography of Geologists and the History of Geology the checking of whose 4,526 pages drove him almost to a nervous breakdown. Much greater fun has been his work on fossil vertebrate footprints, a form of scientific detective work that he finds perennially fascinating.
The long-promised and too-often-delayed move to ampler, and infinitely better-designed, quarters in the new Geology-Biology building came in 1986. (Bill's technician, Mrs. Choo, found it quite astonishing to be in a laboratory where she could actually turn around without colliding against something or someone!) Visitors from India and Switzerland, Brazil and Argentina have come and gone, but palynologists in Calgary don't often venture east of the Saskatchewan frontier, especially now that Divine rule has ended.
Bill and his family, now augmented by a third daughter Juliet, settled happily into a large house-too full of books, records and musical instruments t be called "spacious" on a tree-lined street in Saskatoon, just one block from the South Saskatchewan River's east bank. In due course, eldest daughter Nicola graduated in Law from the University of Toronto and was admitted to the Ontario Bar; second daughter Rachel gained High Honours in her History B.A. of the University of Saskatchewan and is presently "bumming around" in Europe; and youngest daughter Juliet is now in the first year of a University of Saskatchewan course, leading to who knows what degree?
Peggy and Bill have both been involved in campaigns to preserve the environment and architectural heritage of their city and Province. Both have co-authored books on Saskatoon's history (though not with each other!) and Bill edits the annua1 Saskatoon History Review. Both are prominent members of the Casebook of Saskatoon, a group of detective-fiction enthusiasts; Bill is also a member of DRAMS (Drinkers of Rare and Ancient Malts in Saskatchewan), a group meeting to socialize and sample whiskies during the winter months. He had belatedly learned to swim, after a near-drowning off the San Juan Islands, and plays bad ' ton regularly, if not very well He has been long singing and playing in the folk singing group The Prairie Higglers and has served for an exhausting two years as President of the Canadian Folk Music Society (now the Canadian Society for Musical Traditions).
Since Oklahoma, Bill's geological travels have taken him to many parts of Europe, to Tunisia, Algeria and Iran; to Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay; and to new Zealand and Australia. He feels he needs such "wild goose flights" to stay sane! Another form a escape is into his own imaginary world of Rockall, about which he has written a series of seven novels (loosely classed as "historical science- fantasy", but basically adventure stories) set in the 15th Century. (He uses as pen-name his two middle names, to distinguish these undoubted fictions from the alleged facts of his scientific writings.) Three have been published, a fourth is in press and the three others are currently under consideration by Harper Collins.
As for AASP, Bill has been able to participate in only a few meetings since the beginning; but then, North America is a big place, travel funds never as ample as might be desired and the locations not always very exciting. (If forced to choose between, say, London and Paris or Tulsa and Dallas, where would you elect to go?) Moreover, his life is always extremely busy; but, since it's so varied and fulfilling, he's happy to have it that way!
