Long-time GRC Member Robert Forest has passed away. The last 13 years of Bob's work with Phillips Petroleum Company involved geothermal exploration and development. Some of the important geothermal sites Bob was involved in discovering and developing in Nevada were the Steamboat site in southwest Reno, Desert Peak and Stillwater sites where they're still operating geothermal power plants. Bob retired from Phillips in 1985 after 25 years with the company.

Following his retirement from Phillips, Bob went on working as a full-time consultant for Coral Gold Corporation for several years at their Crescent Valley, Nevada gold operation. Following that, he provided consulting services for OESI Power Corporation at Soda Lake and Stillwater in Churchill County and worked on the development of the Rye Patch geothermal field in Pershing County Nevada until 1994.
