Wonderful. Just ordered your book. As a botanist, I used Latin names everyday.
Happy birthday, Jim. Enjoy it with family, friends, and the Lord.
In His hands.

Thanks to Roblee and all who helped to put together this reunion. It was a great time to get together, catch up on one anothers' lives, renew friendships and make new ones. Reminiscences were pleasant, and food was great (that smoked beef was so tender and tasty!), but the highlights of the night were the musical solos by Steve Gunner, sitting in with the band. Outstanding!
Anyone who knows me knows that I am sufficiently self confident (my wife says "cocky") that I dont need any psychological support. That said, when you are hanging out with a bunch of people youve known for over 50 years, theyve had significant life experience, know our environment and know our individual circumstances. Even with that they still accept and appreciate us. It's very reaffirming and supportive. I cant thank you enough.

Good times last weekend at our Reunion! I compiled a Google Photo Album that shows the Saturday morning campus tour AND the dinner/dance at the Elks Lodge. I snuck in a picture of the Sundial Bridge too. Here’s the link: https://photos.app.goo.gl/Yh5kKHX4ZpxNHCfL7

Hi Ron! Been a long time, we have a lot of catching up to do.
Hi everyone,
I was devastated to learn last week from the family of Bill Murphy that Bill had passed away Friday, August 20 of heart failure.
Bill was one of the most thoughtful and engaging people I have ever met. We roomed together our first quarter at UC Santa. Cruz, and he struck a notable figure by commuting to his classes on a unicycle.
His career as a geologist specializing in volcanoes might suggest something about his personality, but he was a gentle soul and a committed pacifist - fiercely defending his views when challenged, but not closed to a good argument. He was a classic intellectual, a popular professor at Cal State Chico and an eager traveller whose only impairment was the addiction to alcohol that he inherited from his father.
I have been thinking about Bill often in the last few weeks as the Dixie Fire consumed so much of the Caribou Wilderness on the east side of Lassen National Park. Bill and I did a snow camping backpack trip there in 1970, an unforgettable experience that I have never been able to replicate.
We all have our memories of Bill, and I invite everyone in Class Creator share them. I may be unable to read and respond for a few days, as I have just landed at Kodiak airport in Alaska en route to a wilderness lodge where there is no Internet. It is the type of trip that Bill would have loved. Trish and I are planning a long-delayed trip to the north state in October, and I had hoped to be able to see him in one place or another - now, of course, different and difficult arrangements must be made.
Please hold Rui and Jasper in your thoughts and prayers, though Bill was indeed a committed and passionate atheist. As for me, I will be reflecting on that amazing aura that Bill projected all his life.
Plans are underway to gather near his home in Davis on September 18 to celebrate his life, and of course those of us who be in Redding on October 23 will continue to reflect on Bill, and so many others whom we have lost...
JA
Hello Ron. Wishing you a happy birthday! Enjoy your day. Hope to see you at the reunion.
