<DIV><SPAN class=296164618-11102008><FONT face="Comic Sans MS" color=#0000ff>I'd
certainly agree with that assessment. Tom has also been a source of
inspiration in keeping the Trinity list going, something we have struggled
with in the Klamath River Upper Basin for years, as a great tool for
keeping the watershed networked and informed.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

competent and effective advocates for the <st1:place w:st="on">Trinity
River</st1:place>’s restoration for the past 25 years. He is highly
intelligent and a walking encyclopedia of Trinity River facts – Trinity
Division history, impacts of diversions upon the Basin and activities of
diverted water beneficiaries, as well as an advocate of restoration, and
otherwise the person with “on the job” experience and knowledge in all phases
of restoration efforts and its hurdles throughout the
years.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></B></P>

join in this tribute to Tom. However, with CalTrout we did honor him a
few years ago for his devotion and for his achievements in the pursuit of
<st1:place w:st="on">Trinity River</st1:place> restoration. He deserves
the thanks of all of us for his incredibly constructive work for the river,
the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Trinity</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Basin</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> and its
