Abstract

We are pleased to dedicate this special issue of the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington in honor of Dr. Raymond J. Gagné (Fig. 1), a long-term and active member of the Society, in recognition of his many contributions to the systematics and biology of Diptera, particularly the gall midges (Cecidomyiidae). Ray was born August 27, 1935 in Meriden, Connecticut, the fourth child of Albert Joseph and Irene Marie LaQuerre Gagné. He attended the Oblate Juniorate in Bucksport, Maine, for the first three years of high school and graduated from Meriden High School in 1953. After working in local factories for a year and a half, he served in the US Army from March 1955 to February 1958 as a nuclear weapons assemblyman. While in the Army he attended night classes at a nearby college and, nearing his discharge, he applied to the University of Connecticut at Storrs. Thinking he needed to fill in all the blanks on his application, he searched through a long list of courses in the printed catalog (this was in 1957) to find PROC. ENTOMOL. SOC.

Raymond J.Gagné：纪念他对昆虫学和Cecidomyid系统学的贡献

我们很高兴将本期《华盛顿昆虫学会会刊》特刊献给该学会长期活跃的成员Raymond J.Gagné博士（图1），以表彰他对直翅目昆虫，特别是胆蚊科昆虫的系统学和生物学做出的许多贡献。雷1935年8月27日出生于康涅狄格州梅里登，是阿尔伯特·约瑟夫和艾琳·玛丽·拉奎尔·加涅的第四个孩子。高中前三年，他就读于缅因州巴克斯波特的Oblate Juniore，1953年毕业于梅里登高中。在当地工厂工作了一年半后，他于1955年3月至1958年2月在美国陆军服役，担任核武器装配工。在军队期间，他在附近的一所大学上夜校，在即将退伍时，他申请了康涅狄格大学斯托尔斯分校。考虑到他需要填写申请表上的所有空白，他在印刷目录中搜索了一长串课程（这是在1957年），找到了PROC。昆虫学。SOC。WASH.124（3），2022，第411–415页
