Hi all-
Les Holladay passed away at his Tennessee home 3-28-2023 after a bad fall. Many of you will remember Les from his work at Beckman in the 1980s and early 90s on software for the then brand-new XLA ultracentrifuge. His approach to data analysis was thorough and often novel. Within the company he was a champion of the instrument and its capabilities and, at times, felt frustrated that fixes and improvements to the XLA/I weren’t forthcoming (e.g. wavelength setting). Following his departure from Beckman he wrote a series of ‘utility programs’ for solution physical chemistry. These, again, were both useful and often novel.
Best wishes,
Tom
