Introducing Dr. Richard Vincent Lamb. Today Dr. Richard Vincent Lamb will present an address entitled, "Contrasting Solutions for Junior Corps: Stewart vs. Hopkins." Dr. Lamb received his Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology from UCLA (1981), his Master of Science (Geology) from the University of California, Northridge (1989), and his Ph.D. in Biology from the University of Michigan (1996), with a Secondary Education Certificate from Eastern Michigan University (1998). Dr. Lamb is an Adjunct Faculty member of the Oakland County Community College Department of Science since 1996 and a Consultant for Prehistoric Forest (Onsted, MI) since July. During his formal education, he has taken up positions of residency and assistance for parks, museums, and sites in California, and has lectured and instructed on an assistant level for colleges and museums. For the past two years, Dr. Lamb was a Science Teacher at William Howard Taft Middle School, where his instruction as part of a team doubled the number of students passing the Michigan state science exam. Beyond his theses, Dr. Lamb has contributed papers at Regional and National Scientific Meetings. His works have been published in Current Research in the Pleistocene, Western Society of Malacologists, and Malacological Review. Dr. Lamb is the world's foremost authority on the fossil mollusks of Rancho La Brea (Tar Pits) and the leading English language expert on self-fertilization in mollusks. Richard marched with the Anaheim Kingsmen (1978) and North Star (1979 and 1981) Drum and Bugle Corps. He instructed color guards in California high schools and UCLA in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Dr. Lamb has been involved in online discussions of drum corps since 1991, first on the email newsletter "Off-the-Line" (1991-1992), then on alt.drumcorps (1992-1993), and on RAMD since (1993-present). He has run the RAMD Readers' Poll 1993-present, which became the DCWorld Fan Poll in 1996. Also in 1996, Dr. Lamb began writing for Drum Corps World magazine and started the gRAMDies, both of which he continues to serve today. In short, any organized annual event on RAMD he is either running or has run. Please welcome Dr. Richard "Vince" Lamb.
