Are these dates correct...?
Robert Browne Wallace (1918-2002) was the younger son of Henry Agard Wallace, 33rd Vice President of the United States.

Sorry I have no clue just followed the dates mentioned in the key. As I wrote haven't seen OD and indeed there could be another...

The OD is [here].
Yes, I had assumed that you had taken the dates from the Key.
FWIW, there is an attorney called Robert B Wallace in Washington, DC (which is where the OD says the dedicatee was from): [here].
But he doesn't look like he has been dead for 15 years; and, if still active, he was presumably not born in 1936.
(OTOH, I don't known either where the information about the dedicatee's occupation (attorney) comes from; this detail is not in the OD.)

The Washington Post published a note about Robert Browne Wallace, after his death in 2002, "Robert Wallace dies", where it is said that the barbet (there called "Wallace's barbet") "bears his name".
But if the info in this note is correct, then he was not an attorney at all.

Andy, I suppose this your "Dan Lane" is "Daniel F. Lane", one of the Authors of the OD (in 2000) ... or?
Just to be on the safe side.

Yes it is. Also a sometimes contributor to this forum. I am also a coauthor on the description but was not at LSU when the name was decided.
