[SML] Jeff Salzberg

[Judy Kupferman]

Hi all,

I am terribly, terribly sad to have to write that Jeffrey Salzberg passed
away on Thursday, from complications following a heart attack. I was told
by a friend of his that he wasn't in any pain but there were too many
complications.

I met Jeff when I emailed this list about 20 years ago, asking for
suggestions because I had a class of really awful students who kept
complaining that it wasn't visual enough. He suggested we set up a website
for lighting students, and so we did, and kept it up for the past two
decades, updating it as needed. Jeffrey also added a Facebook page.
He was a really wonderful partner, with such a clear eyed approach and a
combination of imagination and enterprise and practicality.  The website
has been helping students for years, and people continually email us about
it. I'll be keeping it up, but it is due to Jeff's energy and skill that
it's up there in the first place.

His passing is a terrible loss, personally to me, certainly to his friends
and everybody close to him, but also, I think, to the entire profession.

Judy
