Kurt, thank you for this post, sad though it may be. But so many
happy memories with Brian. A really wonderful person and great
individual. It was Australians like Brian who almost convinced
myself and my wife to stay in Australia - if Australians are like
this, it is not a bad place to call home.
Visits to BMR in Canberra in the mid 70's, sharing ideas on TEM (I
was a Crone PEM guy in those days and Brian was using the MPPO-1 from
USSR, and just getting into SIROTEM). But it was the fun stuff I
remember mostly: visits to his little goat farm and cabin in the ACT
hills in behind Canberra. He named his angora goats for each ski
resort he would visit later in life, with proceeds from the mohair
shorn from each goat. It didn't quite work out as planned, but he
did visit a lot of ski resorts around the world.
Later in life it was at SEG and PDAC conferences where I had a chance
to catch up with Brian and his rapidly advancing career, including
his contributions to SEG itself. But it was the first SEG we
attended in New Orleans in 1979 I remember mostly for the "comradery"
(i.e. mostly carrying on like teenagers) with Brian and buddies Peter
Gidley, Jovan Silic and Vic Labson. Good times, eh gentleman? We
will raise a toast to Brian when we meet again.
Best wishes to all

Dear friends:
With great sadness I am letting you know that our friend Brian R.
Spies passed away last Saturday in Sydney, Australia after a
courageous battle with cancer. He was active in the EM community in
Australia and the US and one of the pioneers of TEM with several
classic papers. There will be more details forthcoming and Alan
offered to create a memoriam page for him on MT net. His wife Pam
and daughters Lexi and Anna supported him during the last month and
he was still full of ideas until about a week ago. There will be a
family funeral this week in Sydney with a larger memorial service in
a few weeks.
