Henry Gholz was an esteemed colleague when we worked diligently together for years at the National Science Foundation \u2013 he in Environmental Biology\/Ecosystems and LTER; I in Ocean Sciences\/Biological Oceanography and LTER. My partner, Roberta Marinelli, and I enjoyed a close friendship with Henry and Jan, with far-flung travels, skiing, biking, and music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been honored and proud to contribute in past years to this great ESA SEEDS program, created by Henry\u2019s family as a legacy to his inspirational efforts to make our field and ESA more welcoming and more diverse. I\u2019m now delighted to work with ESA and its members to make the legacy even more impactful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
