Harry, Thank you for all your years of service to HOT. It has been a pleasure to collaborate with you. Your balanced realism and ability to bridge all the conversations. Add to this your constant diligence to proudly speak on HOT's behalf and lead with the Missing Maps Project.
Your shoes, much like Mikel's, will be large to fill. Here's to honouring your amazing contributions. Thank you!
