<div>Dear All</div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2">It is with great sadness I have to report the loss of another of the early pioneers of the analytical ultracentrifuge and light scattering, Dr. Paley Johnson, formerly of the Colloid Science Laboratories at Cambridge, and,
until his retirement in 1984, the Department of Biochemistry. Arthur Rowe (one of his former postgrad students), John Horton (who worked with him when he moved to the Cavendish Laboratory after his official retirement) and myself (I had the honour of being
his last PostDoctoral fellow) attended his funeral last Friday. </font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2">Paley established a strong reputation for first-rate rigorous research, and he was a wonderful mentor, providing excellent training for young scientists, many of whom excelled and became research leaders themselves, such as
one of Britain's most foremost Colloid Chemists, Ron Ottewill OBE, FRS. He also outlived many! And his 2 volume series with A. Alexander on Colloid Science became the standard text for the subject for almost half a century.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2"><font face="tahoma">Even towards the end of his long and productive life he kept his very sharp wit. On the occasion of his 90th birthday address to the Fellows of Trinity College in 2007 (following his 80th address 10 years
previous) he remarked that he looked forward to "the next in the Series", and to receiving his 100th birthday telegram from the Queen "if she were to make it that far". </font> Sadly he just misses out.</font></div>
<div><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
