Hello, my heart goes out to you in your loss. Wanted his family to know how much I appreciate his work regarding machining in ancient Egyptian stone work. I am just a little old lady cancer survivor who treasures the access of books and reading material in this digital age. I have long thought that studies in our history of the earth need to broaden our to thinking instead of being so stubbornly compartmentalized. Christopher Dunn's wonderful work on ancient Egyptian architecture brilliant expresses the monumental discoveries to be made when applying broad areas of study to an important subject. I am sure many people have made similar comments, most deservedly so. However, to carry his achievements one step further I have the following observation to make. In a world that too often doesn't apply to living of life the knowledge obtained, Dunn's work and courageous testimony of his observations brings to my heart a sense of joy and hope that, yes, new ways of viewing a particular subject can and are being carried out! Who would have thought that at my age I would find such peace and feeling of enlightenment in the engineering measurements and corresponding discussions of a good-hearted fellow who celebrates his lifelong learning and new lessons to be had in the reevaluation of Egypt's fascinating history. At this time I am savoring every word and measurement of his, in his book, Lost Technologies of Ancient Egypt! And when I need a double dose of clear precise thinking in our often confusing modern times I put on one of my Ancient Aliens DVDs and listen to his teaching! It seems my brain is making new connections with a whole new perspective on the world around me! This additional quality to my life is bringing me great joy and enthusiasm at a .0001 of an inch increments at a time! Ha! Thank you for sharing your loved one with the rest of the world! God bless you and all your friends-in-learning! Warmly, Brenda K.

Sorry to hear of Chris's passing, he was larger than life when we were all at SHC, a robust and joyful man, he led a raucous rendition of The Wild West Show on the bus on the way home from college from time to time.....he and Chuck Joseph.
Condolences to Bishop Pat, Mary, Martin, Joseph, John and Mary Liz.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Chris Dunn.the loss of a brother and father. Chris and Sue were wonderful to us on the loss of our baby Aimee in 1977. Chris's parents helped us as well.
