PSU lost a legend earlier this month. Many former students likely had Bryon for at least the core Physical Geography course, but I expect that many also had him for other upper-level courses. He loved field courses in particular , both local (White Mountains / Acadia), national (Four Corners) and international (Paris, Tanzania).
He was one of the founders of the GEO Club as it currently exists, including the World Geo Bowl team, fall trips to NESTVAL conferences and the AAG conference each spring. It’s a credit to him that the club became one of the most well known and consistent on campus.
Please give a shout out here if you participated in one or more of those and share any additional photos you might have!
Bryon loved staying in touch with alumni, hearing of your continued adventures.
There will be a Celebration of Life event at the Squam Lakes Association community room on Saturday, Oct. 18, 1-4,
