5'he Colorado River Project and the Water Education <br />Foundation lost a good friend with the recent death of Dennis <br />Underwood. Dennis was frequently quoted in River Report <br />because of his deep knowledge of Colorado River issues and his <br />willingness to share that knowledge with others. Before he became <br />chief executive officer of the Metropolitan Water District of <br />Southern California earlier this year, Dennis was M ID's vice <br />president for Colorado River Issues, where he was instrumental in <br />forging consensus among the basin states behind California's 4.4 <br />Plan. He will be missed by everyone in the Western water world. <br />Dennis was a regular at the Foundation's biennial Colorado River <br />Symposium. Next year, the Foundation will publish the edited <br />Proceedings of the 2005 Symposium. This edited transcript of the <br />complete Symposium is a great tool for understanding the critical <br />issues facing the Colorado River Basin. It features the views of top <br />policy- makers and stakeholders on a range of issues including water <br />rights, border issues, endangered species, recreation, climate change <br />and more. The Proceedings book makes a great reference for <br />understanding the latest viewpoints from Colorado River experts. <br />L� <br />Colorado River Project Advisory Members <br />Hamlet "Chips" Barry, Denver Water <br />Thomas Graff, Environmental Defense <br />Herb Guenther, Arizona Department of Water Resources <br />Gary Hansen, Colorado River Indian Tribes <br />J.
