Dear Karin and Daniel, as if you don't already know, your parents were very special people. As a geologist interested in the psychological ramifications of natural disasters your mother and I put together a program for UCSD Oceanids on post traumatic stress in people who had experienced a natural disaster. Your father was always so supportive of your mother's endeavors. He will truly be missed. Carole Ziegler
