It is with deep regret that I wish to pass on my condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Kent. Don was our teacher, mentor and friend when we were all so young and inexperienced. He was generous with his knowledge and so much more importantly with his time, a trait we learned later was a rarity in our professional world. Manny of the grad students of our era share stories of Don spending hours in the lab, over a microscope and in the field passing on his hard won entreaties on the natural world. To me personally, he was willing to take a chance on an average student at a time when it meant the most and through friendship and encouragement showed me how to achieve more than I ever thought possible. I can never thank him enough. Rest well Don, you live on in all of us.
