Timothy F. Wawrzynie was a well-known U.S. geologist, entrepreneur, and<br>
former faculty member at the University of Texas, University of New<br>
Mexico, and Western State Colorado University. Much of Tim’s early<br>
research focused on the structural geology and Laramide tectonic history<br>
of the Rocky Mountains. The Elk Mountains, and RMBL, forever remained<br>
near and dear to his heart.Tim’s life and career were tragically cut<br>
short by brain cancer in November 2014.<br>
