Like his friend Chuck Moon, I can distinctly recall Andy arriving in class the first day with a hand drawn cross section of one of the Cascade volcanoes. He had recently hiked it as part of a summer field trip and felt compelled to draw up a cross section depicting his interpretation - not a requirement, he just felt like it. I remember thinking 'oh-oh. Maybe I'm in over my head here. I've never met anyone like this.' Fortunately, Andy is a great guy and encouraged me all along the way and showed me to just think this geology stuff through and don't be intimidated. He also has great taste in music and knows how to eat. My wife and I still enjoy "Andy's chicken enchiladas" - the faded recipe written out by Andy 25 years ago. Hey Andy, still interpreting geology wherever you go, I see. Best, Paul I met Andy on my first day as a graduate student at the University of Oregon in Eugene.

We were best buddies during college and I am proud to call him one of my few life long friends. I remember well the day he shared with me his excitement over petroleum exploration and geological studies while showing me the map he had drawn freehand for a class assignment. Andy was always very intelligent, extremely insightful, and full of fun. We were quite the pair at OU and I will remember those times forever. When I happened across this article I felt compelled to write just a few words about Andy and our friendship in college. I called him a few years ago after obtaining his phone number from his parents and can only hope that our paths cross again as the years roll on. Andy if you read this I want you to know how much I gained from our friendship in college and what a positive impact knowing you has meant in my life. Thank you buddy.

He has a great sense of humor and was involved in bluegrass music. Way to go Andrew!!!
