We discussed his book, "Origins of Life", a small gem. It was exciting to hear him talk about his ideas on the origins of life, and his enthsuasm and humor were infectious. I met with him only a few times, but his ideas permeated my thoughts on my project. He will be missed.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#222222'>--Regina<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Regina!
