David M. Pratt, 83, professor emeritus of oceanography, died at South County Hospital on Nov. 23. After retirement, he and his wife, Virginia, studied the behavior of giraffes in Tanzania and mute swans in R.I. Pratt excelled in painting and woodcarving and loved singing multiple harmonies. A Navy veteran of World War II, he and his wife often traveled to Washington, D.C., to participate in demonstrations for peace and justice.

I TOM found this note up in flag July 4 or so 2018

Virginia Horace Anderson Pratt of Kingston died Monday, June 1, 2015. She was born in 1916 to Ruth Lydia Coburn Anderson and Edwin Anderson in Hingham, Massachusetts.

She was a free spirit, a strong liberal and a Democrat, fascinated with the idea that socialism could solve problems created by capitalism. She majored in economics at Mount Holyoke College and earned a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University. She married David Mariotti Pratt of Williamstown, Massachusetts, in 1941 and gave birth to two children, James Anderson Pratt and Susan Mariotti Pratt Walton. In 1948 the family moved to Rhode Island, so David could start a research and teaching position at the University of Rhode Island School of Oceanography. The beautiful and idiosyncratic house which they designed in Kingston, the University, and the nearby woods provided a rich life of learning and personal development for Ginny. Together, Ginny and David studied European and American paintings, read widely, took music lessons (Ginny on classical mandolin and David on guitar), and worked in the anti-war and civil rights movements. She worked as a psychiatric social worker specializing in mother/child and husband/wife relationships, at Child and Family Service in Providence, using the ideas of gestalt therapist Fritz Perls.

Ginny and David’s passion for nature began with a focus on local flora and fauna (particularly birds) and many family canoe trips. They read widely in the scientific literature on animal behavior and retired early to do research on giraffe mother/calf relationships, spending a total of three years in Tanzania. Doubting the received scientific wisdom that giraffe mothers are inattentive, they combined their skills, calling on David’s knowledge of scientific data collection and Ginny’s understanding of mother/offspring relationships, and published the results in Nature. In the 1980s, Ginny developed a method whereby couples can come to a deep understanding and acceptance of themselves and each other, which became the subject of her book, Coming Alive. Ginny and David travelled extensively to view birds. David died in 2001. Ginny’s dynamic personality, warmth and ability to empathize were valued by her many devoted friends and relatives.

She is survived by her two children; four grandchildren, Gregory Mariotti Walton, Eric Melvin Walton, Catherine Laura Pratt Stemle, and Rachel Sarah Pratt; two great-grandchildren, Luciana Shin-Yi Walton and Oliver Shin-Rong Walton; and many nieces and nephews. A memorial celebration will take place in Wakefield just after Christmas, 2015. For more information, email Susan Walton swalton@umich.edu.
