"Dr. Ubelaker has served as a consultant in forensic anthropology to the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) since 1978 and has testified as an expert witness in numerous trials and hearings. Dr. Ubelaker has reported on over 875 cases involving human skeletal remains since 1976." Springer Link "A self described slow starter who was raised in Massachusetts, Henry Scammell applied to Harvard College in 1951, and flunked out before completing his first term. He spent the next several years employed as a cook in the merchant marine; a ticket agent for Pan Am at Idlewild; a credit investigator for Household Finance; and traveling the world. Returning to Harvard as a freshman in 1958, he graduated two years later with a bachelor's degree magna cum laude and the Bell Prize for contributing to the understanding of American literature. He later received a diploma from the International Marketing Institute at Harvard Business School. He spent five years with the consulting firm A.D. Little, then freelanced as a business writer for several years before starting Scammell Associates, a high-tech advertising agency in Boston. In 1982 he became a full-time writer and moved to East Orleans where he indulged his love of clamming, fishing and berry picking. Scammell served on the steering committee of the Arthritis Institute of the National Hospital and was co- founder of "The Road Back" Foundation. His 12 books, often collaborations, were published in several languages. He also wrote more than 500 magazine and newspaper articles." Good Reads
