[Geysers] Paul Strasser

[Janet Chapple]

Dear Suzanne,

I would just like to add my condolences to the many you are receiving.  
I would very much like to have known Paul better. I have always  
admired his writings and his vast knowledge of our beloved geysers.

With all best wishes,

Janet Chapple
