This page is dedicated to Catrin, who was a passionate horseback rider, a student of biology and a friend.

She died after a car hit her on her way back to Bermuda Biological Station for Research Inc. after a visit in Bermuda's famous Swizzle Inn.
Catrin leaves behind family, horse and friends.
We will miss her, but we will not forget her.

The left picture shows a wreath laid down by her fellow students on September 28th at the place of the accident. The picture on the right shows the tree planted in memory of Catrin on September 29th. The tree is a bermudian cedar and was planted on the sea side of Bermuda Biological Station for Research's Wright Hall.
