His wit and ready laugh, his kindness and his wisdom will be missed. ------------------------------------- When IETF came to Honolulu I met Chris and he allowed me to hang out in the NOC and learn during setup week and during the meeting week. In addition he made me feel comfortable when I'm normally pretty shy. He also allowed me to hang out with the NOC guys remotely on subsequent meetings since, so I got to know him. His constant smile, cheer and encouragement is something I will always remember. He will be missed by more than most folks know. Aloha Nui I kou hou huaka`i Chris! scott (big aloha to you on your new trip)
