LBL Director Eulogizes Nobel Laureate Glen Seaborg, Who Died February 25, 1999.
Following are excerpts from Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Charles V. Shank's memo to LBL employees:

Dr. Seaborg was a true giant of the 20th Century, a legend in the annals of scientific discovery. His daily commitment to matters of the laboratory, even in retirement as associate director-at-large and as an active researcher, was an inspiration to us all... For his service to science, to education, and to our nation, we honor Dr. Seaborg's distinguished lifetime and will forever treasure his contributions to our institutions and to our lives. We who have been touched by his wisdom, his energy, and his tireless devotion to our profession will miss him... I encourage you to reflect on Dr. Seaborg's extraordinary life, much of it chronicled by him on an Internet Website accessible through our home page. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Seaborg family...
