Crystallographic Community:

It is with deep regret that I must report the untimely passing of a valued
member of the crystallographic community, Professor John J. Stezowski. John
was a Professor of Chemistry at the University of Nebraska from 1991 up until
the time of his passing. John began his academic career at the University of
Stuttgart where he was a faculty member for many years before moving to
Nebraska. While at Stuttgart, John spent many summers at Fox Chase Cancer
Center as a sabbatical scientist. As a leader in the crystallographic
community, John (along with Bill Duax and Judith Flippen-Anderson)
established the IUCr Commission on Small Molecules (now called the Commission
on Chemical Crystallography) and served as its first chair. He also lead a
group that arranged a special IUCr symposium in China in 1986 that featured
Dorothy Hodgkin, Bill Lipscomb, Herb Hauptman, and Jack Dunitz as plenary
lecturers at John's request. While at Nebraska, John launched a highly
successful program in chemical and protein crystallography.

I apologize for the off-topic post, but this bulletin board has become the
most effective way to get in touch with the crystallographic community at
large. I am in the process of trying to compile a tribute to John for the
ACA Reflexions newsletter, and would appreciate any input of John's
accomplishments or any personal reflections. For example, I know he was
editor of a european crystallography journal for some time, just not sure
which one. I would encourage those who knew John to leave a message on his
guestbook linked from here:
