It is with much sadness that we learned about the passing of our mentor, Marc Caron. Deepest condolences to his family. A 2009 picture where we had a go-away party at his house. Always generous, always gracious. He touched and influenced many lives and will be dearly missed.

Another amazing collaboration with Scott C Blanchard! Thanks to them and all of our other fantastic collaborators without whom this work would not have been possible.
