[Sighfis-l] Lois Lunin passes

[Richard Hill]

With deep regret, we received word that Lois Lunin passed away yesterday.
She will be buried tomorrow (Thursday) in Baltimore (Har Sinai Cemetery, Old
Mausoleum) at 2:30 pm.  [There are 2 such cemetaries in Baltimore and we do
not know at which the service will take place.  For word on a memorial
service in North New Jersey on Sunday, contact rhill at asis.org.]

 

Lois received the Watson Davis Award in 1976, in the first Watson Davis
Award presentation.  She conceptualized the ASIS&T Bulletin and was it’s
first editor for 5 ½ years.  She conceived and edited the “Perspectives on
”
series in JASIST and edited that until 2005, and was on the JASIST Editorial
Board for many years as well as serving on the ASIST Board of Directors.
She was instrumental in creating the Texas Chapter of ASIS&T.

 

Much of her professional life was involved in designing and implementing
medical information and imaging systems.

 

Lois was also a distinguished “fiber artist,” with pieces in juried shows
such as the Renwick Gallery in DC and elsewhere.

 

There will be memoriam remembrances coming in both JASIST and Bulletin.
