[env-trinity] Byron Leydecker has passed away

[Greg King]

Truly sad. A major passing. When I took over at NEC I met with Byron  
in Mill Valley, at his favorite Italian restaurant. He had a regular  
table (back against the wall), and he ordered for us. Then in one  
hour he provided the best possible download on the Trinity River, its  
environment, its people and its politics. Afterward, whenever we  
spoke he was always kind, informative and rather difficult to keep up  
with. He will be missed.

Tom, thanks for sending this along.
