[Coral-List] congratulations and big thanks to Jim Hendee

[Storlazzi, Curt D]

Colleagues,

On behalf of most, I think we all not only want to congratulate Jim Hendee on his upcoming retirement, but also thank him for his numerous decades of service to his Nation and the world's coral reefs via both his wonderful work at AOML and herding the cats with CoralList, which is how the vast majority of of community gets its news and discusses topics. Job very, very well done, Jim - we all owe you a great deal of thanks.

Hopefully we actually will be able to travel to Bremen next summer for ICRS and host some pints in your honor, revel in your highlights, and laugh about our most memorable CoralList feuds. Congrats and thanks again!

Curt
