From: Patricia ReddenSubject: Re: [DCHAS-L] JAY YOUNG - IN MEMORIAL I had the joy and honor of working with Jay for many years on CCS, writing manuals, listening to his stories, and learning more from him than from any other chemist I can think of. I feel sorry for the Lord above if there is anything amiss in the world of safety there! Please give my best to his family.

I met Jay at a crossroads in my career. It was in the early 80‚s and I was starting to dabble in lab safety when my boss was hosting Jay for a chemistry event In Montreal and invited me to join them for lunch. Jay really encouraged me to forge ahead and it is not long after that I went back to school to study industrial hygiene and committed my career to the cause on a full-time basis. The fundamentals of lab safety that I learned from Jay Young and the many references he published really helped build the foundation of my own professional practice. I am sure many others can say the same. If it is true that teaching is the key to immortality then Jay‚s impact will indeed be everlasting∑ W.
