"A Gifted Individual"
Gudmundur "Bo" Bodvarsson was a gifted individual and one of the hardest working graduate students I have ever had at Berkeley (UCB). He carried this approach with him in pursuing his career at LBNL and developed into a disciplined scientist. No problem in his field was too tough to handle. The growth and success of the Earth Sciences Division stands as a tribute to his remarkable abilities. (Paul A. Witherspoon)
"Proud of All the Excellent Work"
Bo appreciated and was proud of all of the excellent work of the ESD staff. He often came across as the "tough guy," but on countless occasions he spoke to me with pride about the outstanding work of all the people in the nuclear waste program. This program required technical excellence and outstanding teamwork, from the administrative staff, to quality assurance, and scientists and engineers. Bo's vision and appreciation encompassed the entire breadth of the program - and the program thrived under his leadership. (Sally M. Benson)
