There's a very fine obituary for Dennis in the New York Times yesterday who died at 95. It mentioned his environmental role in founding the Environmental Defense Fund, his engineering role in co-inventing and demonstrating the DUKW amphibious landing craft in WW II (he was wounded in the spine by a Japenese shell splinter), and his round the world sails in the 1930's described in his book Blue Water Vagabond (recently reprinted). What is not mentioned is the wonderful British Music Hall songs he used to sing us, and the outrageously bawdy songs, some of which you should be able to find by doing a thread search on "Dennis Puleston."

Now Dennis Puleston has gone to rest,
And may his soul forever be blessed,
Of all good fellows he was the best...
