Thanks for posting this, Gary. I will never forget some of the conversations I had with him years ago, as he helped me understand some of the thinking behind our methods and choices in course measurement. And I will miss that encyclopedic memory of his-- off the top of his head he could list a bunch of courses a given measurer had done, or the places and times from a great number of races. He called it a "sticky brain".
He will be sorely missed.
