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 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.
