For the Colorado gazers and anyone else that may be close by: I wanted to let you know that we are having an open house event at my house to celebrate Paul's life on Sunday, June 9, starting at 2 PM. It will be casual. We will share some remembrances of Paul and have a few prayers. Please send me a message if you need the address. We are still planning a get together in Yellowstone as well during the week of July 20-28. I hope to see some of you soon in Colorado and/or Yellowstone.

It is much consolation to the family that he passed peacefully and was spared dealing with the end stages of the disease. On the other hand, it was still a shock to us. He had been fairly stable until Monday, and then suddenly went downhill fast. He and I appreciated the friendships we formed with you in the geyser basins, and I will always treasure the memories. We have a vacation in Yellowstone planned for July 20-28, and I am hoping we can have a memorial get together in remembrance of Paul for friends that are there. Something upbeat to remember all the good times we had. And I do also hope to be there for Labor Day weekend to raise a glass for Paul at the wine and cheese party. I hope he is looking down on us all to witness many eruptions of Morning, Giant, Fan and Mortar, Splendid, Steamboat, Grand... and many, many more.
