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.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">Best wishes,<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class="">Tom<o:p class=""></o:p></span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span style="font-size: 14pt; font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;" class=""> </span></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">Professor Emeritus<o:p class=""></o:p></div><div style="margin: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class="">University of New Hampshire</div></div><div class="">
