[Geysers] Paul Strasser

[Ken Reeves]

Suzanne,

When we started geyser gazing in 2002, you and Paul were some of the 
first gazers we met.  You made us feel very welcome to the community, 
always provided encouragement and words of wisdom to us new-beys (heck, 
we didn't even know there was an Artimesia geyser).  Paul's enthusiasm 
and passion always amazed me, whether it be an eruption of Fan and 
Mortar, or a minor hot period at Giant.

Please know that our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Sincerely,

Ken and Renee' Reeves
