Acknowledgments

We thank our highly dedicated colleagues at OV Pasto for much support, notably F. Munoz, H. Cepeda, E. Parra., D. Gomes, R. Torres. The 1989 mission to Galeras by BV, R. Janda and D. Harlow was supported by USGS and United Nations (UNDRO) funds. C. Cardenas and O.D. Cardona of ONAD provided assistance and insight. We recall the memory of colleagues and friends killed in the 1993 eruption, Geoff Brown, Fernando Cuenca, Nestor Garcia, Igor Menyailov, Carlos Trujillo, and Jose Arles Zapata, and of Bruno Martinelli, dear friend and wise advisor to the Pasto observatory scientists.
