In Memoriam
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our dear friend Elaine Wuertz, who passed away on June 22, 2009. A well loved and deeply respected colleague, Elaine was instrumental in the founding of LSIT, and we are immeasurably grateful for her leadership and enthusiasm these past 6 years. While her knowledge may prove irreplaceable, her professional contributions and personal generosity will serve as inspirations to us in the years to come. Elaine will be remembered as a thoughtful colleague, a wise mentor, and, most importantly, a very good friend. She will be deeply missed.
The thoughts and prayers of everyone at LSIT are with Elaine’s family.
