. The Canadian field-naturalist. 2004 Seymour: Tribute to Loris Shano Russell 455 broke" for years. Loris and Grace visited antique shops together, often in small towns on their way to do palae- ontological fieldwork. Some of these adventures are described in his 1969 Rotunda article. His habit of meticulously documenting and labelling everything, plus his deep-seated love of a good story (he claimed it came from growing up in the "Wild West"), put him in the position to do ground-breaking research in material culture. Loris developed a superb collection of well-documented lamps, which were later kept in glass display cases in their Toronto apartment; these have since been donated to the ROM. Several books, A Heritage of Canadian Light (96S), Handy Things to Have Around the House (1979), and Every Day Life in Colonial Canada (1980) resulted from this research. These are still standard references today; indeed, A Heritage of Light was reprinted in February 2003 by the University of Toronto Press. He became a speaker in demand at various material culture conferences over the next few decades. In 1963, Loris left NMC under some controversy. Upheaval in the administrative ranks of the NMC made for some messy politics, which Loris did not care for. Returning to Toronto and the ROM, he became the Head of the Life Sciences Division at the ROM, and a year later, he filled the newly created position of Chief Biologist. By that time, the five former Royal Ontario Museums (zoology, palaeontology, mineral- ogy, geology and archaeology) had been amalgamat- ed into a single institution under one Director. Much of his continued success at ROM was due to Anne Liebeck, Loris' able secretary (Figure 7). She guarded the entrance to Loris' office and answered his telephone, so that he could continue his studies virtually without interruption. In 1964, he received a Diploma with Distinction from the Museums Association of Great Britain. With Loris' return to Toronto came
