[GLIMS] Sad news: Gordon Hamilton

[Bruce RAUP]

For those not subscribed to Cryolist, there is a nice and growing 
collection of photos and comments at

And I apologize for misspelling Gordon's last name in my original message. 
My middle name is Hamilton, so you'd think I'd be able to type it 
better....

Best wishes to all,
Bruce
