Dear colleagues,
With Wade's passing the Accelerator Section became an orphan of its founding member, who watched its first steps and helped it to grow. I admired Wade both as a person and as a scientist. In spite of his prominent position in our field, he was very modest, friendly, always ready to help. He assumed many duties in the Health Physics Society without worrying about prestige or visibility of any particular task: serving as the first President of our section, chairing sessions at HPS meetings or simply checking calculators and serving as proctor at ABHP certification exams. I had a chance to observe his organizational skills at work when he was setting up the panel discussion for the HPS Midyear Meeting in San Jose. As most of his endeavors, it was a resounding success. Wade will remain in my memory as a wonderful human being and an example to follow.
