Reunion of Undergraduate Chemistry Researchers
Three undergraduate students from the early 1970’s met their research advisor, Professor Emeritus Morton Z. Hoffman, and his wife, Sandy, recently for dinner at the Post 390 restaurant in Boston. The students were co-authors with him on a publication, “Generation of Radicals in the Charge-Transfer Photochemistry of Coordination Complexes of Cobalt(III) in Aqueous Solution,” J. Phys. Chem., 78, 686-691 (1974).
Deborah (Campano) German (CAS ‘72) was also a student in Hoffman’s CH101-102 lecture section in 1968-69. She received an M.D. degree from Harvard University and is now Dean of the College of Medicine and Vice President for Medical Affairs of the University of Central Florida in Orlando. She was married to fellow chemistry alumnus, Larry German (CAS ‘72), who passed away some time ago.
Evan (Rick) Kantrowitz (CAS ‘71), who took CH111-112 with Professor John Endicott in 1967-68, just retired as Professor Emeritus after a 37-year career in the Department of Chemistry of Boston College. He received a Ph.D. from Harvard University with Bill Lipscomb as his research supervisor. His wife, Ellen, accompanied him.
Marc Weinberg (CAS ‘74, MED ‘77) was also in Hoffman’s CH101-102 class in 1970-71. He is President of Marc Weinberg M.D. Personal Healthcare, Ltd. in Providence, Clinical Professor of Medicine at B.U. Medical School, and a member of the faculty at the Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University. He is a recipient of the CAS Distinguished Alumni Award. His wife, Lori, attended with him.
