Figure 2
The Rocky Mountain Virology Association meeting in 2019. The photo shows several virologists at the meeting taking a hike in the mountains around the Colorado State University conference center during an afternoon recess. Randy, as usual, is at the center of an active discussion along the trail. Besides Randy, those in the picture include Laura Ashton, Carmen Ledesma-Feliciano, Christie Mayo, Amy MacNeill, Jasmine McCoy, Lee Fortunato, Sven Heinz, Joel Baines and Joel Rovnak. The meeting was held in late September when the golden leaves on the aspen trees are most beautiful.
