| Tom Ziegler, 1945−2015
It is with great sadness that we hear of the sudden passing of Tom Ziegler. Tom was my Ph.D. advisor − my academic father − and he has always strongly supported me, even well beyond my Calgary years. He was an outstanding scientists as well. My thoughts and sympathy and prayers go out to Liv and the children and grandchildren.
