"Maurice Bigelow, Charlotte County commissioner,
inventor, chemist, author and retired missionary worker, says he
plans to open a biochemistry research laboratory to study the
ecology of fresh and salt water in Charlotte county.
The corporation charter has been approved by Secretary of State
Tom Adams and as soon as Bigelow receives the charter he will open
shop. "I will get my finger back in research. The base
of my operations will be in my home, where I'll keep my microscope
with camera and other photographic equipment. My boat will
be my laboratory, which I'll use to gather my water specimens, and
I'll set up a small aquaria on my dock," Bigelow said."
