Sad news from Western Massachusetts: the Boston Globe and the Daily Hampshire Gazette report the death of Bob Paquette, the longtime host of Morning Edition at WFCR, the public radio station in Amherst MA.   Bob, who often interviewed CLF staff about our work and reported on environmental issues, is warmly remembered by his colleagues.  His intelligence and engagement were rare and he will be missed.

Deepest condolences to his many friends and his family, especially his husband Michael Packard.
