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.<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Tom, thanks for sending this along.</div><div><div><br></div><div><div><div><div>Greg King</div><div>President/Executive Director</div><div>Siskiyou Land Conservancy</div><div>P.O.
