Today I also found out that Stuart Kaback, a distinguished
patent information specialist, died at his home in Cranford, NJ. There are obituaries in the
Patent information user Group (PIUG) website written by
Sandra Unger
I had the pleasure of knowing Stu through the AmericanChemical Society Division of Chemical Information. He distinguished himself by winning the
prestigious Herman Skolnik Award in 1999.
I first met Stu when he gave a talk at the Careers in Chemical
Information Workshop at the City University of new York Graduate Center in
November 1989. DOI: 10.1021/ed068p43. In the Spring of 1991 Stu spoke at a similar
workshop that I organized at the Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting (MARM) at the
University of Delaware.
A few years ago I encountered Stu on a
New Jersey Transit train as he was on his way to an opera in Manhattan.
He will be sorely missed by his family,
friends, and colleagues. My belated
condolences to his family.
