On December 14, 1993, Shirley Dreiss died in a car crash while driving to the San Francisco airport. In the ensuing weeks the news spread through the hydrological community accompanied by profound shock and sadness. We all lost a colleague, and many of us also lost a friend. At the time of her death, Shirley was a professor of hydrogeology and chair of the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of California at Santa Cruz. She was only 44 years old and in the prime of her career.
