For me, Chris was at the heart of that campaign... and that campaign still represents to me all the good things about Greenpeace and about how the passion of a few people to make change can ultimately make a difference for the better. The people like Chris - and Henk, Martini, Bunny, Anna, Brian, Steve S, Elaine, David McT...who committed so much to it for so long were, and are, very special people. Sailing to Moruroa and working with people in Tahiti like Oscar Temaru and Marie-Therese Danielson was definitely a labour of love for those of us who had the privilege of doing it. Chris was passionate about it, and his energy and love for both people and the environment, the sea in particular, and his capacity to engage and motivate people, are something I'll always remember. That chuckle and cheeky grin... I met Chris in 1990 when I first joined Greenpeace to work on the campaign against French testing.
