Note from Alex Sessions (Caltech fellowship fund)

Hi Eve,

I'm writing to let you know that Dianne and I forgot to make an important announcement at the end of our talks on Saturday. Sky's fellow grad students and friends here at Caltech are in the process of organizing a memorial fund in Sky's memory. The idea is that we will accept donations from anyone who wants to donate, and that money will then be given back to graduate students over the years in the form of grants for doing things that meant a lot to Sky - environmental activism, research, education, outreach, etc. The students have not yet worked out all the details of how the fund will be managed, or where checks should be sent, so we are not quite yet ready to make a formal announcement. But if you could help us spread the word now, so that people know it is coming up, we would appreciate it.

The ceremony on Saturday was beautiful. It was not nearly as sad as I had feared, and which I think would have suited Sky just fine. Such happy and fond memories of Sky are really a testament to his wonderful spirit and sense of humor. Dianne and I were truly honored to be able to speak there, and our hearts are with you and the rest of his family as we continue to struggle to find some peace in all of this.

We'll be in touch further about the fellowship fund.

best wishes,
Alex
