On top of the many challenges VENT has faced in the pandemic era, our community was dealt two additional blows this year with the passing of our friends and colleagues Greg Lasley and Bob Sundstrom. In this short tribute to our fallen comrades, Victor Emanuel and Barry Lyon will offer remembrances of these fine men, recognizing their importance to the growth of VENT as outstanding tour leaders and as men of impeccable character. Greg led tours for VENT for more than 20 years, from the early 1980s to the early 2000s, while Bob anchored important areas for almost 30 years, from the late 1980s up until two years ago.
