I will miss Brian Keller. Over the years we met and discussed many
issues in the Florida Keys but when Brian transferred here to St.
Petersburg he became a vital and reachable resource for discussion on
many biological issues. I often walked down to his office to bounce
my latest off-beat idea off Brian. He had a knack of seldom changing
his facial expression no matter how over-the-top my idea, or rant,
might be. He would then proceed to explain the facts without ever
saying I was just plain crazy. I always walked away feeling happy and
enlightened. We will certainly miss Brian here at the College of
Marine Science. The Sanctuary lost a good spokesman and a great
scientist. Gene
