  3. Chris Hepburn grew up in the western edge of Brattleboro, within the Guilford Dome and within a shout of the Standing Pond Amphibolite. For many decades, annually, on excursions heading for western Vermont and the Adirondacks, I passed by his boyhood home, bringing long geologic experiences back to memory. Chris began contributing to our understanding of southeastern Vermont early in His career, with detailed geologic mapping and key studies of the geochemistry of metamorphosed basalts that continue today, for which I give special thanks today. This was but the beginning of a series of studies with increasing focus on eastern Massachusetts and adjacent areas, where he remains a leading authority. It is a pleasure to celebrate the career of an open-minded and congenial friend, who has given much toward gaining a wider knowledge of northern Appalachian geology, not least the puzzling problems posed by the Erving Formation, and has been responsible for the education of a host of dedicated students.
