Re: Michael Crichton dies

The news about Michael Crichton really struck me. It is (partially)
thanks to him that I got interested in paleontology about a decade ago
as an 8 year old boy. Now, 10 years later, I am finally studying
paleontology at the other side of the world (Belgium to the US). The
only thing I regret is the fact that I never sent him an e-mail to
thank him for all he and his work has meant and still means to me.
