An extraordinary life...

was celebrated yesterday, in memory of William Bond, who passed away in December 2021 in Spokane. Family and friends gathered at Luna restaurant in a festive remembrance of his remarkable life, summarized in this obituary written by his grandchildren.

William Charles Bond, 1940 - 2021, RIP.

William called the Dean of the College of Science at Eastern Washington University in the summer of 1998 asking to meet and have lunch with a member of the geology faculty to satisfy his interest and curiosity in earth science. He subsequently enrolled in a number of geology classes and various week-long regional field trips, and we became close friends ever since. I shall miss this fellow and feel richer for having known him.
