font-family:Arial'>I am sad to report that my father, Ed Herel, passed away from
Alzheimer’s disease on August 20, 2007. He was 70 years old.
He loved vacationing in <st1:place w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:place> and
watching the geysers, especially Grand. He enjoyed spending many hours talking
to visitors about geysers and the signs to look for an impending
eruption. On our family’s first trip to <st1:place w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:place>
when I was a little girl, he was lucky enough to walk up on a 5-burst eruption
of Grand, and he became hooked. It was due to his passion for geysers and
my family’s many vacation trips to <st1:place w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:place>
over the years that I fell in love with the geysers, too. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>His last trip to <st1:place w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:place>
was in 2001, where he was fortunate enough to see a “soaker”
eruption of Fan and Mortar. He enjoyed watching his grandchildren Linda and
Kevin stand in front of F&M, soaking wet and with huge grins on their faces.
Previously he visited the Park with my family in 1997, where we spent
many hours waiting for Giant together and were finally rewarded with the August
24 eruption. He was acquainted with many of the geyser gazers and
naturalists in the earlier years when he was able to visit <st1:place w:st="on">Yellowstone</st1:place>
more frequently.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
