<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=424361616-19052005>Dear
Pat and Colleagues,</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=424361616-19052005>All of
us at GeoPraxis are shocked and profoundly saddened to hear of Jeff's tragic
accident and to realize that our entire community must now suffer the
untimely loss of one of our most accomplished and inspirational leaders. I
personally will never forget a speech Jeff gave circa 1996 (Vancouver?) that
rose well above the usual technical minutiae of our meeting to challenge all of
us to take the chances and really live up to the task of becoming the heroes the
planet so desperately needs us to be. Coming from almost anyone else this
could easily have come across sounding preachy and self-important, but with
Jeff's characteristic cool logic and charismatic surferdude charm it was simply
a matter of fact... and the room thanked him for being so bold as to stand up
and say it. Needless to say, his words and the example he set remain an
inspiration to us all to this day.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2><SPAN class=424361616-19052005>We
will all sorely miss him... and maybe if we're righteous and lucky enough, we
too will get to go in the woods doing something we love. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
