Another huge loss. http://www.bu.edu/bme/2014/11/14/davi= d-mountain-dies/ Dear HRC members and friends: I am sending the sad news that we learned today: we lost our deeply loved = and respected colleague David Mountain. He lost his battle with cancer Wed= nesday night, a battle that he fought so well that we did not understand ho= w seriously he was at risk. David is a central figure in our field and in our experiences. He is a gia= nt in multiple areas of auditory research, and he has been a role model for= many of us in his ability to pursue his ideas intensely with the highest s= tandards of integrity and creativity. I want to get this message out to you with the urgency it deserves, and the= refore I will postpone a more complete statement of his huge impact on me a= nd my life and a more detailed discussion of his contributions to our field= . I miss him terribly. I am struggling to deal with this news, which I know = is true but which my soul rejects. -Steve colburn@xxxxxxxx<mailto:colburn@xxxxxxxx> Hearing Research Center Boston University --_000_8746C99ACB9AF54F8EA5917046FC5B1996D7329CISTEX10MBX4adbu_ Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html dir=3D"ltr"> <head> <meta http-equiv=3D"Content-Type" content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-= 1"> <style id=3D"owaParaStyle" type=3D"text/css">=0A= <!--=0A= p=0A= {margin-top:0;=0A= margin-bottom:0}=0A= -->=0A= P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}</style> </head> <body ocsi=3D"0" fpstyle=3D"1"> <div style=3D"direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: = 10pt;"> <div style=3D"direction:ltr; font-family:Tahoma; color:#000000; font-size:1= 0pt">In case some of you have not heard this news, and at Steve Colburn's r= equest, I am passing on the message he sent to his seminar mailing list and= a link to more information on the department website about the recent death of David Mountain.
