You have any colleagues near him in your professional network?
I think it's fascinating, too. Having lived through Spokane's experience of Mt St Helen, it's a bit more than academic, to me.
The San Francisco Peaks are not as far away from me now as Mt St Helen's was, then. Thankfully, they are not showing any signs of erupting again--that I nkow of--but I still expect them to in my lifetime. There has always been a hot spot on them and pretty high up, at that.

My old boss (RG, CEG, HG) and the company CIH go up Shasta each year (at least until the ex boss got surprised with twins) and snowboard it. There's quite a few guys in the network who absorbed most of their geological knowledge out here in the west.
I actually worked on a few project with another guy who used to get a forest service permit every year and charter a helicopter to fly a crew into the St Helens crater and drop them off near the resurgent dome... As a recreational excursion...
Spokane, went to the fair there back in the early 70's when we lived over in Moscow. Noorrtthhh Weesssttt (eyes roll up in head) :) Isn't this the greatest country?!

We lived in Spokane during Mt. St. Helens coming out party. Still have a few baby food jars of the ash.
