Haven’t heard from anyone except the alumni magazine office, which sent information for two obituaries. Helen and I are moving to a residential community in Jupiter, Florida, but my e-mail and phone number won’t change.


Edward Frederick Hammel died on June 8. After graduation he received his Ph.D. from Princeton and he worked on the Manhattan Project. He lived and worked in Los Alamos, New Mexico. He was leading investigator in the area of cryophysics. He received many awards and was one of the country’s foremost scientists and was also very active in the community of Los Alamos and the University of New Mexico.


Vernon Frank Taylor died on May 21. “Moose” and his wife, Ann, had the financial means to live large and they did, in Denver and Vail, Colorado, New York and London. He had a very full social and business life. His obituary in the Denver Post was full of laudatory comments.
