Gilbert Murray
Gil Murray’s life ended twenty years ago today. He was the final victim of the Unabomber Ted Kaczynski. Gil was a Registered Professional Forester and leader in the California forestry profession. When I first met him, he was head forester for one of our local competitors. He was later hired to lead the California Forestry Association, a promotion that led to his death. Gil was deeply respected in the forestry community as a man of the highest character. I tip my hat to Gil Murray.

Nice of you to post this for those of us who never knew him. His memory lives on. Thanks, Tim.

I hope it does Linda. It’s ashamed to remember the killer and not the victims.

I can not believe it has been 20 years. And I have never heard his name, sadly none of the victims names. Sorry about your friend. I hope some of his family can read your tribute.

It was a tragedy indeed. His death really changed our profession, and not necessarily in a good way.
