Transcript
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you the late breaking and so sad news that our beloved colleague and friend Peter Dykstra has died at 67 in an Atlanta hospital from respiratory failure linked to pneumonia.
Almost every week for more than a decade Peter was the puckish bard of concise environmental news and histories, delivered from his home in Atlanta with a twinkle in his eye you could hear on the radio.
We’ll have a tribute to Peter Dykstra later this month, and if you’d like to say something about him as well please write to comments@loe.org.
So, for now, with a heavy heart we say, good bye Peter, we miss you and thanks for everything.
