We are sad to report the passing of several TAs we have lost over the past several months – some years ago– but we learned about only recently (based on information provided to the AAPG membership department).
Please join us as we recall and applaud their contributions to our Foundation, our profession and our world.
They were all great professionals, and their legacies will be remembered for decades.
