Chris has been an invaluable asset to LDraw.org for 25+ years and his contributions to LDraw during his almost 20 year stint as the Parts Library Admin are numerous. He was directly responsible for the release of 35 parts updates (over 12000 new parts!), in 2008 oversaw the monumental undertaking of shifting the Parts Library licensing model, was a founding member id the LDraw.org Steering Committee, and served as the chair of the LDraw.org Standards Board. For all these efforts he was awarded the James Jessiman Memorial Award in 2017.
Orion Pobursky will be taking over his duties while a replacement Parts Admin is found. Any long time parts reviewers are invited to volunteer to fill this role. Chris will retain the ability to admin review parts on the Parts Tracker should he choose to do so.
Chris has been a good collaborator and a good friend. He presence here at LDraw.org will be sorely missed.

Note: Chris is still part of the forums. Well wishing or stories are highly encouraged.
Thank you Chris for all your efforts with LDraw.
I still know, how I started at LDraw and requested authoring privileges and quite soon reviewer rights. And I remember, that you wrote not - only once, that I have to upload more parts to show my talent. But you answered always in a friendly way, so I did what you expected and well - thanks again - I think, I found my role in our community. :-)
I really hope, you will stay around and give useful tips to the new authors as you did in the past.
