"What the heart has once known, it shall never forget."
The oil and gas industry is a small world. There are very few degrees of seperation between geologists and geophysicists-- everyone knows everyone. Or everyone knows someone who knows you.
So when Dan Norton passed away last week after a long battle with multiple mylemoa, the sad news travelled quickly among peers.
I met Dan in 2007 after I graduated from University.
I didn't know him well, but thanks to him, I got some hands-on experience with seismic processing. He was a patient teacher with an easy sense of humor.
Dan spoke often of his wife and kids, with obvious pride. My thoughts are with them.
The world is definitely a little less bright with his passing.
