Bob Zahner's Passing   dbhg-@comcast.net   Sep 07, 2007 09:51 PDT  ENTS,    An icon of old growth forest identification and preservation has passed - my long time acquaintenance and friend Dr. Robert Zahner. I will soon write some words into the ENTS record describing the immense contribution that Bob made to old growth awareness. I am deeply saddened at his passing.
