With great sadness, we report that Chris passed away suddenly on September 25, 2023.  Chris was a member of the Steering Committee for the MRGT Feasibility Study in 2010; he was a founding member of the Friends of the MRGT in 2011; and he was a member of the Board of Trustees since 2011.  His contributions to our success were indispensable.  We will miss him.
